Basic Enlisted Sub School (BESS) is the U.S. Navy's submarine training school for enlisted sailors. Located on Naval Submarine Base New London (NAVSUBASE NLON) in Groton, CT, the school is a six-week introduction to the basic theory, construction and operation of nuclear powered submarines. The course includes instruction on shipboard organization, submarine safety and escape procedures. ^[1] This program is limited to male candidates only, and requires passing a physical and mental screening.

High Risk Trainers

The Navy operates three high risk trainers at New London that sub school classes attend in random order. They are:

• Fire Fighting - Students are instructed in the differences between submarine and surface ship fire fighting and the special equipment used in sub-surface fire fighting.
• Damage Control - Sailors are required to patch leaks and seal ruptured pipes before their compartment completely floods.
• Submarine Escape - Personnel learn how to successfully escape from a disabled submarine.
