BREMERTON On a recent tour of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, and Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Harker stopped to chat at the concrete edge of one of its six dry docks. In around a decade, the bathtub-shaped dock, closest to the downtown Bremerton waterfront, could become useless to the Navy.
Or, if a push for billions of dollars to overhaul the shipyard is successful, the aging structure could become the Navy s most advanced and versatile dry dock in the world. It is very much the case that as we look into the 2030s, there s the real concern of obsolescence there, Kilmer said of the dock. I think there is increasing recognition by lawmakers that these investments in our shipyard infrastructure are really important.
