The bridge party members atop the sail of the Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Minnesota (SSN 783) observe while they are towed from pier side to begin sea trials, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, June 20, 2024. Minnesota entered an extended docking selected restricted availability (EDSRA) at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF) almost 25 months ago. During the maintenance period, the shipyard and crew performed tank blasting and coating, hull preservation, propulsion and ship system repairs, modernization upgrades and made enhancements to mechanical and electrical systems. Following certification, the crew will work together to maintain readiness and is scheduled to homeport shift to Guam later in the year. 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.
