NUWC Keyport Division

We are proud of our heritage and are committed to continually doing better!

.. a foundation on which to build.

   Keyport has a proud history and tradition of dedicated technical expertise in the unique world of undersea warfare. Since 1914, Keyport has existed by federal authority to serve the public trust by providing Test, Training, and Evaluation services; Life-cycle support; and maintenance of Fleet Material Readiness. The Division operates and maintains unique national assets in our precision ranges and our technologically unique maintenance and repair facilities. Established in the 1950's, our ranges were the first three dimensional underwater tracking ranges in the world.

   We efficiently employ both our talents and our resources to ensure that only top-quality products and services are provided to our customers. In 1994, Vice President Gore presented NUWC Keyport with a National Quality Improvement Prototype Award for demonstrating outstanding achievement in Quality Improvement. Later in the decade, NUWC Keyport garnered several Hammer Awards for our innovation and cost saving initiatives. In 2000, NUWC Keyport received the Washington State Governor’s Award for Leadership. Into the new millennium, NUWC Keyport continues as a recognized leader in quality, energy conservation, and technical achievement.
