(from left) Kanale Salva and Uluwehi Young, deckhands with ASD Neil Abercrombie tugboat look toward decommissioned amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa (LHA-1), Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, June 11, 2023. The tugboat towed Tarawa from Ford Island to Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility following SALVEX 24-001. The two-week Naval Sea Systems Command exercise was comprised of approximately 250 Sailors, civilians and contractors which included members of Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF). The team collaborated in a variety of scenarios where simulated battle damage was evaluated, and personnel developed repair solutions using emerging technologies to accelerate repairs and shorten repair timeline. The use of public-private partnership between the Navy and industry highlighted technologies, equipment, and products ready to transition into ship maintenance. PHNSY & IMF is the largest, most comprehensive fleet repair and maintenance facility between the U.S. West Coast and the Far East and provides a capable, ready and "Fit to Fight" fleet.
