If established bases are predictable then they dock there all the time. Guam has a facility depending on the repairs. They may not be able to "limp" from sout China zea to the west coast. Anyway if they're on the surface I can tell you they'll end up in Guam. At least until they can safely submerge and continue to hawaii where there is a repair facility as well as submarine tenders.
It's not gotten back yet, so I don't know.
I doubt they'd let it slip, either.
Anyway, it's kinda clunky to fly colors on a sub, right?
Then if some one is on point, we'll find out when it gets to harbor.
Do nuclear subs usually dock in a predictable place? That seems risky as hell.
If it's Pacific it's likely Bellingham, WA, but if it's heavy repairs it might be San Diego or even Portland (dry dock facilities)

A company I used to work for used had a contract with US Navy to use tugs to push them to their docks in Pearl Harbor.
They used Z-Tugs which had a thick rubber coating on the bow to prevent damage to the subs itself.
Doesnt answer question, but a cool tid-bit to know.
It's a fast attack. Boomers are protected.
HMS Conqueror did it after sinking the Belgrano.
