Ronald Gorgonio, a production controller and participant with EDP Cadre A 2026 at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility lowers a pipe using a chain-fall during a training exercise at the Learning Center on March 24, 2026. The exercise provides a glimpse into the multi-year training pipeline that develops skilled riggers and gives future leaders a perspective of the craft that is a staple of shipyard life. PHNSY & IMF’s mission is to keep the Navy’s fleet “Fit to Fight” by repairing, maintaining, and modernizing the Navy's fast-attack submarines and surface ships. Strategically located in the heart of the Pacific, it is the most comprehensive fleet repair and maintenance facility between the U.S. West Coast and the Far East. (U.S. Navy photo by Kenny Jones)
