Continuous Submarine Duty Incentive Pay Chart

On January 26, 2012, NAVADMIN 033/12 announced the submarine and other command staff's billets that are eligible for full monthly payments of operational submarine pay.

September 21, 2011, per NAVADMIN 274/11, for the first time since October 2004, the Navy Submarine Service will see a change to the submarine duty incentive pay. Very limited in scope, the approved increase only affects Senior and Master Chief Petty Officers with over 18 years of continuous service, effective October 1, 2011.

Per OPNAV INSTRUCTION 7220.15, "Continuous Submarine Duty Incentive Pay (CONSUBPAY) is designed to be paid to active duty naval service officers and enlisted personnel who engage in and remain in the submarine service on a career basis. Most submarine personnel are eligible for CONSUBPAY. Individuals receiving CONSUBPAY may not receive OPSUBPAY at the same time. Staff Corps officers are not authorized to receive CONSUBPAY.

For the purposes of this instruction, "submarine" includes commissioned submarines, new construction submarines, submarines undergoing overhaul, conversion or decommissioning, off crews of two-crew submarines, auxiliary research submarines, deep submergence rescue vehicles, manned submersible research vehicles, and operational submarine detachments assigned to submarines or manned deep submergence vehicles.

Upon transfer from a submarine to a non-submarine activity, an enlisted member's CONSUBPAY will automatically stop if their obligated service (OBLISERV) does not incur a minimum of at least 14-months past the Plan Rotation Date (PRD) at the subsequent command. If otherwise eligible, CONSUBPAY will be restarted any time during the non-submarine activity tour when the PRD plus 14-month obligation requirement is incurred."

Navy Submarine Pay Chart effective October 1, 2004. E-8 and E-9 over 18 years of service amounts effective October 1, 2011.
