PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (Sept. 25, 2008) -- The Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate USS Reuben James (FFG 57) departs Naval Station Pearl Harbor. Reuben James and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS OÕKane (DDG 77) departed from Pearl Harbor as part of the Mid-Pacific Surface Combatant Operational Employment program. The program calls for nine of the 11 Hawaii-based surface combatants to focus on the Western Pacific by conducting intermediate/advanced training and regular deployments in the Western Pacific, and is designed to improve the U.S. Pacific Fleet's war fighting readiness and effectiveness.
