and merchant shipyard, supporting the maritime in-
dustry that was critical to the survival of the early 
colonies and then to the fledgling United States. 
When the American Revolution began, the infra-
structure resident at this former colonial shipyard 
became a nucleus in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, 
area for the United States Navy. For more than 230 
years, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard has assisted the 
United States in winning nine major wars, putting 
an end to piracy, sending the Great White Fleet 
around the world, supporting scientific exploration of 
the Pacific, and opening Asia to United States 
trade. Today, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard conducts 
critical maintenance to the Nation’s Nuclear Navy to 
include aircraft carriers, ballistic missile submarines, 
and fast attack submarines. 
(4) On June 12, 1800, under the administra-
tion of President John Adams, the Portsmouth 
Naval Shipyard was established. The Portsmouth 
Naval Shipyard is the United States Navy’s oldest 
continuously operating shipyard. In 1776, during the 
Revolutionary War, the USS Raleigh was built in 
Kittery, Maine, and became the first vessel to fly an 
American flag into battle. For more than 221 years, 
the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has contributed to

the Nation’s security and has been instrumental in 
United States diplomacy, when, in 1905, President 
Theodore Roosevelt selected the Portsmouth Naval 
Shipyard as the location to host the Treaty of Ports-
mouth, which ended the Russo-Japanese War. 
Today, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard overhauls, 
refuels, and modernizes the Nation’s fast attack sub-
marine fleet. 
(5) In 1889, Congress approved a budget to 
purchase land around Sinclair Inlet in Kitsap Coun-
ty, Washington. In 1892, additional land was added 
and the United States Navy broke ground for the 
construction of the first of six dry-docks that would 
form what is now the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. 
Since that time, the shipyard was front and center 
in supporting the Nation’s efforts in World War I, 
World War II, and the Korean War by constructing 
submarines, surface ships, and support vessels re-
quired to win those wars. In late 1965, the USS 
Sculpin (SSN 590) became the first nuclear-powered 
submarine worked on at the Puget Sound Naval 
Shipyard. The Shipyard site at Naval Base Kitsap- 
Bremerton provides longer-term, full-service mainte-
nance and inactivation and recycling work on air-

craft carriers, surface ships, and submarines, uti-

(6) On May 13, 1908, Navy Yard Pearl Harbor 
was officially established on the Hawaiian Island of 
Oahu, and the Navy Yard has proven to be vital to 
the defense of the United States and its interests in 
the Asia-Pacific region. The shipyard has been in-
strumental in enabling the United States to secure 
sea-lanes of communication and commerce that has 
strengthened the Nation’s ability to project power 
across the expansive Pacific and Indian Oceans. For 
generations, the shipyard has supported the global 
interests of the United States in a critical geo-
graphic region. On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor 
and the Navy Yard at Pearl Harbor were the scene 
of a devastating attack on the United States by the 
Imperial Japanese Navy. Despite the devastating at-
tack, the shipyard and its workers were able to re-
turn ships damaged in the attack back into service 
and enabled the United States to win the Pacific 
War. For more than 113 years, the Pearl Harbor 
Naval Shipyard’s strategic location in the Pacific 
has assured the safety and prosperity of the United 
States through the maintenance of Navy ships. 
Today the shipyard supports the maintenance of the

Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet as well as surface 
ships. 
(7) In April 2013, the Navy provided Congress 
a public shipyard investment plan, which identified 
investments needed to optimize, improve, and rebuild 
shipyard facilities, electrical infrastructure, environ-
mental systems, and equipment, and needed to im-
prove the timely return of ships and submarines 
back to the fleet following maintenance and mod-
ernization, to support the combat readiness of the 
United States. To this end, the Navy developed the 
Shipyard 
Infrastructure 
Optimization 
Program, 
which is a comprehensive, 20-year, $21,000,000,000 
effort to modernize infrastructure at the four naval 
shipyards through— 
(A) performing critical dry dock repairs; 
(B) restoring and optimally placing ship-
yard facilities; and 
(C) replacing aging and deteriorating cap-
ital equipment. 
(8) In addition to the Nation’s public shipyards, 
the United States continues to rely on the capacity 
and capabilities of private new construction and re-
pair shipyards to meet the strategic maritime needs 
of the United States Navy, the United States Coast

Guard, and the Nation’s maritime industry. Such 
shipyards, located on every coast of the United 
States, also require substantial recapitalization and 
reconfiguration in order to meet the construction 
and sustainment requirements of our maritime Na-
tion. This Act recognizes the vital role such private 
shipyards play in the United States and accordingly 
authorizes and appropriates funds to ensure they are 
able to continue to provide those strategic capabili-
ties in the future.
