“The Navy’s rapid response to this challenge has been a true testament to the dedication of our team and our commitment to the safety and readiness of our people and our fleet.”Ĭonstruction efforts include drilling holes for the installation of anchors inside the dry dock walls to enhance structural integrity and ensure the safety of the workforce, community, environment, and submarines. “Watching this team of experts come together to make these upgrades has been remarkable,” said Capt. The need for mitigations in the remaining docks will be determined once current efforts are complete and may include stability enhancements for submarine availabilities. Aircraft carrier maintenance at PSNS & IMF remains unaffected. Based on future planned improvements to Dry Dock 6, and differences in ship design and the size of aircraft carriers, it was determined immediate seismic mitigations are not required.
Mitigation work continues at the Trident Refit Facility Delta Pier in Bangor. The dry dock has been tested and re-certified and USS Connecticut (SSN 22) was docked for its Extended Docking Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA) July 12.
BREMERTON, Washington – Interim seismic mitigation efforts, which began March 29 on Dry Dock 5, have been completed at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Bremerton.
