BREMERTON, Wash. –
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility Employee of the Year nominees, their co-workers, friends and family gathered at the Admiral Theater Tuesday at 10 a.m. to honor the command’s top employees during the shipyard’s annual recognition ceremony.
During the event, the command celebrated the accomplishments of employees from among more than 235 personnel nominated for their 2022 performance.
Capt. Jip Mosman, commander, PSNS & IMF, presided over the event and praised the winners and nominees.
“Some of you are being recognized for making a difference in your department, code or shop and others for your selfless actions out in your communities,” said Mosman. “The bottom line is you have all made contributions to this command and are all worthy of awards. The Navy isn’t just about ships and submarines. You are all the heart and soul of what we do.”
At the ceremony, 32 PSNS & IMF employees were recognized as winners across 25 separate categories. Those recognized were nominated by co-workers, supervisors or managers and voted upon by the shipyard’s Incentive Awards Committee.
Mosman praised the winners and nominees for the work they do every day at PSNS & IMF.
“The readiness and success of our shipyard is in your hands, said Mosman. “I believe many in this room are already leading or will lead the way as we prepare for new opportunities to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.”
