One reason the crews liked Pearl, especially after Lockwood took over, was that they had a block rented at the Royal Hawaiian
'There was the Rest and Recuperation Annex to the Submarine Base, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel with its 425 rooms and housing capacity of 935 guests. When this entire space was not required by the Submarine Force, it was made available to aviation activities, small craft returning from advance bases, forward advance Marine units, and in some isolated cases, to battleships and cruisers.'
They would indeed, turn their boat over to a re-fit crew, which would then do all the painting, re-supplying, etc. of the boat, and turn it back over to the rested crew roughly 2 weeks later for them to do final prep work - all that if the boat did not go into the yard and require any drydocking for hull cleaning or damage repair...
Fremantle and Brisbane had similar set-ups, while the Advance bases usually had a "camp" nearby for the rest, such as Camp Dealey at Guam
