Navy sub relocated to Isles from Guam for repair work
The USS City of Corpus Christi, an attack submarine, is being relocated from Guam to Pearl Harbor for repairs, the Pacific Daily News reported.
The move was announced by Rep. Madeleine Bordallo, Guam's delegate to Congress.
The Navy is relocating the USS Oklahoma City from Norfolk, Va., to Guam to replace the USS City of Corpus Christi.
The move is scheduled to take place in 2010.
"The homeporting of the USS Oklahoma City shows the U.S. Navy's continued commitment to maintaining a forward-deployed presence on Guam to advance the United States' strategic interests in the Western Pacific," Bordallo said in a news release.
