USS Connecticut sailors have been dealing with this since at least December, possibly longer.
The Navy says it responded quickly and effectively, but some sailors have said help came too late.
Sailors aboard Seawolf-class submarine USS Connecticut, one of the US Navy s most capable attack submarines, have been battling a bed bug infestation.
Naval Submarine Force Pacific said in a statement that the Navy launched efforts to find and eliminate the difficult-to-kill bed bugs after the problem was first reported last December, explaining that the physical presence of bed bugs was found in February.
Sailors told Navy Times, which first reported the infestation, that the problem actually started last March while the submarine was participating in an Arctic training event. Family members of Connecticut sailors told the Kitsap Sun that the bed bug problem has been an issue for about a year.

The Navy destroyer USS Zumwalt purposefully sailed into very rough seas last fall for a test.
It sailed through storms off the coast of California and Alaska with waves up to 20 feet high.
The Zumwalt successfully completed the Rough-Water Trials.
The US Navy put the stealth destroyer USS Zumwalt to the test by sailing it straight into a storm with waves as high as 20 feet, Naval Sea Systems Command announced recently.
Navy engineers tested the destroyer in storms off the coast of California and Alaska last fall as part of the second phase of the Rough-Water Trials, which test seakeeping, structural response, and operability. The warship appears to have done well in Sea State 6 conditions with waves up to 20 feet high.

He said the move was intended to hone PLA warfighting skills and send an unmistakable message.
The top US admiral in the Indo-Pacific region told lawmakers Tuesday that the Chinese military fired multiple carrier killer missiles into the South China Sea last year to send an unmistakable message about its ability to threaten American aircraft carriers.
