The Squadron is currently stationed at the
Kings Bay Naval Base,
Georgia, and operates alongside the guided missile submarines of
Squadron 16 under the broader umbrella of Submarine Group Trident. The five
Ohio-class submarines under the command of Squadron 20 are , , , , and . These submarines carry the
Trident missile and act as components of the United States' global presence for strategic deterrence. As a result, the Squadron is responsible for the continued operation, maintenance and certification of all U.S. ballistic missile submarines in the Atlantic fleet. In December 2011, two of the Squadron's submarines, and USS
Wyoming, become some of the first US submarines to include women officers in their crews. Though women had been allowed to serve in combat roles in the rest of the Navy since 1993, there was concern that the cramped spaces onboard and long tours of submarine crews were unsuitable for women. This was the first step in the plan to fully integrate women onto all US Navy submarines. It was begun on the ballistic missile submarines because of their larger size as compared to the attack submarines, though there was the intent to eventually include those vessels as well in the future (and did begin in January 2015). Despite a few setbacks, including allegations that male sailors had secretly videotaped female shipmates in dressing areas, this process of integration continued. The first group of enlisted female sailors joined the crew of a submarine, though not one of Squadron 20's, in 2016. == Current organization ==
