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.
