In August 1987, Emory S. Land operated as the tactical and communications platform for Submarine Squadron EIGHT and Submarine Squadron SIX to work both with and against a surface combatant group.

Emory S. Land served at La Maddalena, Italy as the sole permanently assigned vessel in Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet's Submarine Group 8 - from June, 1999, until September 30, 2007, on which date she departed for Bremerton, Washington.

Gee, I rember doing this, but along time ago--around 1969 I was out bound on the USS Canopus AS34. We were headed to Scotland after a year in the yards. The last time I was in La Maddalena, Italy I was with MIUW 202.
