     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.
