Caption:
Apra Harbor, Guam (Jan. 26, 2005) - The Los
Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS San Francisco
(SSN 711) is escorted into dry dock by tugs Taga, Golith
and Magsino in Apra Harbor Guam. The Navy former dry
dock known as "Big Blue" is capable of docking
ships that weigh up to 40,000 Long Tons. The Navy
certified Big Blue for the one-time docking of San
Francisco so that officials can assess the damage to the
submarine following an incident in which it ran aground
approximately 350 miles south of the U.S. territory on
Jan. 8, 2005. San Francisco is the second fast-attack
submarine to be attached to the forward-deployed
Submarine Squadron Fifteen, home ported on board Naval
Base Guam. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd
