Naval Surface Forces announced Tuesday that needed repairs on the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer will be done pier-side in San Diego.
USS Boxer steams in the Pacific Ocean, Dec. 14, 2023. The Boxer left San Diego April 1 for a deployment with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit only to turn around for repairs 10 days later.
The Navy will attempt to repair the bearing system on the ship's starboard rudder without placing the ship in a dry dock. The damaged part caused the ship to turn around for home just 10 days into a scheduled deployment last month. It's the latest in a string of mechanical breakdowns that have plagued the ship since it went into dry dock in 2020 for a $200 million upgrade and overhaul.
