Boomers have 3 month deployments.  Why did the USS Indiana just return to Groton after 6 months?

Because it's an SSN and that's what they do?
MT2/SS
USS Simon Bolivar - SSBN 641 (B)
USS Henry M. Jackson - SSBN 730 (B)
USSVI - Wyoming Base

Diesel boat WesPac deployments were 6-7 months.  Med trips were 6 months.
SSN's normally also deploy for 6 months. 
The deployment does not mean all the time was spent at sea.  Normally there were port calls during the trip.
Be Well
