This vintage style military naval travel poster “Apra Harbor Guam USS City of Corpus Christi (SSN-705)” is dedicated to the Submariners who served on the USS City of Corpus Christi. USS City Of Corpus Christi (SSN-705), a Los Angeles-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Corpus Christi, Texas. The ship is currently homeported in Pearl Harbor, HI, moving there in May 2011 after being previously forward deployed to Apra Harbor, Guam. Apra Harbor is a deep-water port on the western side of the United States territory of Guam. The harbor is formed by Orote Peninsula in the south and Cabras Island in the north. To the south, the harbor narrows and then widens again to form an inner harbor. The southern end of the harbor is the location of Naval Base Guam, a strategic U.S. naval base located on Apra Harbor. It is part of Joint Region Marianas, which is a Navy-controlled installation which was combined with Andersen Air Force Base in 2009.
