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.
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)
Guam has a repair facility and sub base. Nuke capable.
i was told thats were its heading
Thanks. Just read that this is indeed the case. When the Sacramento (I think?) needed a new nose, they did it in Bellingham, I think
mayport ...?
Bremerton. Can and will handle the repairs.

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.
