US embarks on US$21 billion yard modernisation effort

摘要

The Naval Sea Systems Commands (NAVSEAs) Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan (SIOP) Programme Office, PMS-555, which was established in June 2018, has begun work to recapitalise and modernise four public nuclear shipyards. The plan includes upgrades to facilities used to dry dock warships for repairs and replace aging and deteriorating capital equipment. Executing the plan will improve the naval shipyards' productivity and increase their maintenance throughput in order to support US Navy readiness.
