JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii - Louis Santos performs a traditional Hawaiian oli (chant) to bless the land, asking for protection and to foster good energy, as the Navy begins construction on a new dry dock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF) Aug. 19, 2023. The construction of the dry dock, currently the Navy’s largest facilities construction project in history, will be the first since World War II. PHNSY & IMF’s mission is to repair, maintain, and modernize Navy fast-attack submarines and surface ships, in order to keep the Navy’s fleet “Fit to Fight.” (U.S. Navy photo by Justice Vannatta)
