Let p ≡ 1 (mod 9) be a prime number and ζ 3 be a primitive cube root of unity. Then k = Q( 3 √ p, ζ 3 ) is a pure metacyclic field with group Gal(k/Q) ≃ S 3 . In the case that k possesses a 3-class group C k,3 of type (9, 3), the capitulation of 3-ideal classes of k in its unramified cyclic cubic extensions is determined, and conclusions concerning the maximal unramified pro-3-extension k (∞) 3 of k are drawn.
