It depends entirely on the type of ship/submarine you're on, but for most combat vessels, you can expect about 2/3 of the time either at sea or away from homeport. For larger vessels on extended deployment (Carrier Battle Groups), the time can come close to a year, especially during wartime.

The sea/shore rotation is generally 4 year sea duty and 2 years shore. The bottom line is that sailors and ships go to sea, so unless you're in a shore specific based billet (an extreme rarity), extended scenic ocean vacations on luxury Nuclear-powered cruise ships are in your future.

Unless of course you're a submariner like me, in which case the views aren't quite as scenic.
