Attack submarine USS La Jolla, the neighborhood’s military namesake, returned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Sept. 3 following its final regularly scheduled deployment before its decommissioning later this year. The 360-foot submarine was under way for 150 days of its 180-day deployment and traveled 35,000 nautical miles, conducting port visits in Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, with Commanding Officer Cmdr. Kevin Roach praising the crew’s efforts during the deployment to the Western Pacific. The La Jolla is scheduled for conversion to a training to be permanently moored at Charleston, S.C.
