PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii - With meticulous attention to detail Royal Australian Navy divers don their equipment in preparation for a familiarization dive with a Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility diver.,
A group of big-ticket projects were bolstered by strength in the health care and education sectors.
The Navy has begun the most expensive building project in its history with construction of a $3.4 billion submarine-repair dry dock at Pearl Harbor. The initial work of installing foundational piles into the harbor waters began this month, with the project expected to be completed by early 2028.
The $3.4 billion project will completely replace the shipyard’s Dry Dock 3, which is unable to support the Navy’s more advanced Virginia-class submarines or larger surface ships.
Federal funding could be directed to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to help take its ongoing dry dock expansion project over the finish line.
