Though Guam is a United States territory, some U.S. long-distance plans and courier services list Guam as an international location. As a result of Guam's being added to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) in 1997, calls made to the U.S., Canada, or other participating countries from Guam only require the caller to dial a 1 followed by the area code.

Submarine communications cable Bundle of long-distance wires/optical fibers on the seabed for information relaying

A submarine communications cable is a cable laid on the sea bed between land-based stations to carry telecommunication signals across stretches of ocean and sea. The first submarine communications cables laid beginning in the 1850s carried telegraphy traffic, establishing the first instant telecommunications links between continents, such as the first transatlantic telegraph cable which became operational on 16 August 1858. Subsequent generations of cables carried telephone traffic, then data communications traffic. Modern cables use optical fibre technology to carry digital data, which includes telephone, Internet and private data traffic.

Submarine power cable Bundle of long-distance wires on the seabed for transmitting electricity

A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. These are called "submarine" because they usually carry electric power beneath salt water but it is also possible to use submarine power cables beneath fresh water. Examples of the latter exist that connect the mainland with large islands in the St. Lawrence River.

K-329 Belgorod ("Белгород") is a modified Oscar II class Russian nuclear submarine. It was originally laid down as a Project 949A cruise missile submarine, but it is now a special operations vessel, able to operate unmanned underwater vehicles. Due to chronic underfunding, its construction was suspended then resumed at a low rate of progress before the ship was radically redesigned to become a unique vessel — the first Russian fifth-generation submarine, according to the Ministry of Defence. The K-329 Belgorod, along with the Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System, was one of the last weapons systems presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin during his annual speech on March 1, 2018. It is being tested at sea and is expected to be commissioned by the Navy around the end 2021.
