The guided missile cruiser USS Chosin, which has been home-ported at Pearl Harbor since it was commissioned in 1991, will leave Friday for San Diego — its new home port.

There, the ship will undergo an overhaul in a cruiser modernization program that the Navy says will extend its life by another 40 years, and its shipboard combat systems will be upgraded to address current and future war-fighting requirements.

The Chosin will be considered on deployment until July 1, at which time it will officially change its home port to San Diego.

Chosin was named in commemoration of the 1st Marine Division’s heroism at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War.

In 1992, the Chosin deployed for the first time to the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Southern Watch. On several occasions over the years, sailors aboard the Chosin rescued stranded fishermen at sea, including Iraqi and Yemeni seafarers. In 2014 the Chosin led recovery efforts of the disabled Canadian navy oil replenishment ship HMCS Protecteur (AOR 509) after an engine fire.

The Chosin participated in humanitarian operations in the Pacific and dozens of international exercises, including Rim of the Pacific exercises off Hawaii.

Capt. Kevin Brand is the commanding officer of the 568-foot Ticonderoga-class cruiser — one of 11 in the fleet.

In February 2015, the Navy, in response to congressional concerns, revised its cruiser plan so that each year no more than two cruisers would be placed in phased modernization, no cruiser would remain in modernization for more than four years, and no more than six cruisers would be in modernization at the same time.
