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.
