No (modern) precident exists for terrorist attacks in domestic ports on naval assets in Western states AFAIK. Really if you ask me the terrorist "threat" is really overblown and if they haven't launched another strike by now then I don't think they ever will. If the Mexicans can get in undetected, where are the terrorists?

With the amount of security in naval ports these days I would say the potential for an event there would be practically nil anyway. If there were some glaring fundamental flaws pointed out in port security in San Diego, Pearl, or Norfolk, then maybe it might be an option to relocate the fleets. But I feel evidence of a terror threat in the U.S. is really not there, and ergo it seems to me that the U.S. Navy is not in "harms way" to begin with.
