(Tribune News Service) Sometimes even a maintenance facility needs maintenance, and after a four-month overhaul, Little Creek’s floating drydock will be ready to start working on vessels next month. The drydock, named Dynamic, is 76 years old the oldest active vessel in the Navy’s fleet after the sailing frigate USS Constitution.
