USS Stethem Undocking

By SWRMC Public Affairs

Over the holidays, USS Stethem (DDG 63) undocked from the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center (SWRMC) Graving Dock onboard Naval Base San Diego. After acquiring the graving dock and a two-year maintenance and modernization phase, this undocking marks the successful completion of our first in-dock overhaul of a Guided Missile Destroyer. The upgrades to the 80-year-old Graving Dock will allow it to service Navy ships for years to come and adds a valuable repair capability to the San Diego Bay waterfront. The docking evolutions occurring in the Graving Dock are complex ship-handling events that involve the participation of over 100 personnel from SWRMC, Ship’s Force, Contractor, and Naval Base San Diego.
