Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Keyport celebrated the opening of its new unmanned undersea vehicle maintenance facility during a ribbon-cutting ceremony, May 9. The facility will provide state-of-the-art UUV sustainment and maintenance capabilities for the United States Navy. The ceremony featured remarks from Capt. Clint Hoskins, commanding officer of NUWC Division, Keyport, and Darren Barnes, the command’s acting technical director. During his keynote address, Hoskins hailed the new building as “an impressive endeavor” and applauded the perseverance that eventually brought the facility to fruition: “Building 1086 represents the Navy’s pivot to a new age of warfare,” said Hoskins “One where uncrewed systems augment the warfighter, enabling commanders to take on greater operational risk while maintaining a tactical and strategic advantage.”
