A US Navy nuclear-powered submarine arrived at a naval operations base in Busan on Tuesday, the South Korean Navy told Yonhap.
The USS Greeneville, a Los Angeles-class attack submarine, entered the port to replenish supplies and allow the crew to rest.
This marks the first visit by a US nuclear-powered submarine under President Lee Jae-myung, who was elected in June. The last visit occurred in February, when the USS Alexandria docked at the same base.
The USS Greeneville has previously visited South Korea three times, with its last port call in 2016.
North Korea has consistently criticized US nuclear-powered submarines visiting South Korean ports.
