(1) Since the beginning of our Nation, the four 
public shipyards that support the United States 
Navy have continued to be foundational cornerstones 
of the strategic infrastructure of the United States, 
and those shipyards will continue to be so in the fu-
ture. 
(2) Although originally built in the age of sail-
ing ships, the shipyards have been incrementally up-
dated overtime, but in 2021, are in need of a 
generational investment to modernize and upgrade 
the outdated facilities to ensure they can continue to 
repair the United States Navy for another 200 
years. This Act would provide the necessary authori-
ties and appropriations to make those strategic as-
sets ready to meet the future demands of the United 
States, while securing and expanding domestic capa-
bilities across many sectors of the economy critical 
to ensuring the independence of the United States 
from, and preventing over-reliance, on foreign com-
merce.
