NNS4809. USS Juneau to be forward-deployed by SURFPAC Public Affairs Navnews SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- The U.S. Navy announced Nov. 3 that USS Juneau (LPD 10) will be forward-deployed to Sasebo, Japan, beginning July 30, 1999. Juneau, currently homeported in San Diego, will replace USS Dubuque (LPD 8) as part of a planned rotation of the forward- deployed naval forces. The crew from Dubuque will assume duties aboard Juneau. This cost-saving move will not result in a change to the Sasebo community. USS Dubuque will return to the United States where it will be homeported in San Diego. -USN-
