NAVAL BASE KITSAP – BANGOR, Wash. (Nov. 9, 2022) A Harris’s hawk from Kennewick Wash.-based Inka Falcon bird abatement services stands guard beside the ballistic missile submarine USS Alabama (SSBN 731) at the Delta pier of Trident Refit Facility Bangor (TRFB). The ballistic missile submarine maintenance and repair activity contracted falconers from the company to drive away seagulls in the area which were causing damage and had become a nuisance to workers. TRFB employs more than 2,000 civilian & military personnel in support of our nation’s strategic deterrent mission by repairing, incrementally overhauling, and modernizing ballistic missile submarines in the Pacific Fleet.
