The Multi-Mission Dry Dock at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF) at Naval Base Kitsap (NBK)-Bremerton is a key part of the Navy's comprehensive, long-term recapitalization efforts at PSNS & IMF under the Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP). The new dry dock and its associated utilities, crane system, pier, and support facilities will accommodate current and future ships and submarines, including the new Gerald R. Ford class of aircraft carriers.  

The multi-phase, mega-project will culminate in a fully pressure relieved dry dock facility capable of accommodating shipyard repair services for the new Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, current Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, and other surface and subsurface ships. 

The dry dock facility will include drainage and flooding systems; a caisson gate; roadways and portal crane tracks; access and egress elements; mechanical, electrical, and communication systems; supporting facilities; and utility routing tunnels.

The full project delivery includes proposed construction of a new dry dock, as well as demolishing, replacing, and/or constructing other piers, wharves, moorings, cranes, buildings, and support facilities. Proposed support facilities include a new forge shop and an expanded Radio Hill complex at NBK-Bangor. The Navy is also proposing dredging to create adequate water depth at wharves and piers as required for construction and operation of new structures.

The project is awaiting a Record of Decision, anticipated between fall 2026 and winter 2026, with construction expected to begin in spring 2028
