JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM (Feb. 24, 2024) Vice Adm. Jeffery Jablon, deputy chief of naval operations for installations and logistics, signs piles that will become part of the first new dry dock to be built at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF) since 1943. The ceremony celebrated an early construction milestone, marking the installation of piles that will anchor the foundational footprint of Dry Dock 5 at PHNSY & IMF. This is the first graving dock built in Pearl Harbor since 1943 and the highest-value single construction project in the history of the Navy. The new dry dock will enhance PHNSY & IMF's mission to repair, maintain, and modernize Navy fast-attack submarines and surface ships, keeping them Fit to Fight. (U.S. Navy photo by Dave Amodo)
