Three San Diego-based Navy warships and about 4,500 sailors and Marines stopped in Pearl Harbor for training and replenishment at the start of a deployment to the Indo-Pacific and Middle East.
Sailors and Marines from the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit left Naval Base San Diego, May 1.
The ship group — amphibious assault ship USS Boxer, amphibious transport dock USS John P Murtha and amphibious dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry — will conduct operations including maritime security and crisis response as well as theater security cooperation and Naval “presence” operations, Navy officials said.

I am trying to think of new ways for the Navy to fight. More standoff distance, longer range missiles, improved networking, improved countermeasures, and air superiority?

Every WesPac I made we stopped in Pearl Harbor. Either to pick up special weapons or to do quick operational training exercises.
