Capt. Edward B. Miller IV, Vice Commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic is seen here providing comments during the groundbreaking for Dry Dock 8 and adjacent berths, which welcomes a renewed period of naval shore construction.
“Without these planned major upgrades, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, as well our three other Navy public shipyards, would face further degradation, negatively impacting maritime readiness,” said Capt. Edward B. Miller IV, Vice Commander, NAVFAC Atlantic. “Work performed on Dry Dock Eight ensures this yard can conduct maintenance availabilities efficiently, increasing both the capability and capacity our naval force.”
This multi-contract, multi-year renovation is NNSY’s biggest project yet as part of NAVFAC’s Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP). SIOP oversees infrastructure investments modernizing the nation’s public shipyards through upgraded dry docks and facilities, new equipment and improved workflow.
