    A large floating dry dock gate or caisson is being maneuvered by a tugboat in what appears to be a naval shipyard, likely Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii based on the mountainous backdrop and tropical vegetation. Workers in high-visibility safety vests and hard hats are visible on the dock structure, the pier, and surrounding areas. The operation involves multiple personnel and mooring lines to position the massive steel structure.

    Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility

    A caisson is removed from Dry Dock 2 as Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Illinois (SSN 786) prepares to undock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF), June 24, 2026, completing an important milestone in the submarine’s scheduled lifecycle maintenance period. Commissioned Oct. 29, 2016, Illinois is the 13th Virginia-class submarine. It is the second U.S. Navy ship to be named for the state of Illinois. Illinois is assigned to Submarine Squadron 1 and is capable of supporting various missions, including anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operations forces support; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. 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 Mike Wilson)

    The image shows a large dry dock being flooded with turbulent water, likely in preparation for receiving or releasing a vessel. The facility appears to be a naval or commercial shipyard, identifiable by the large blue cranes labeled 'P-76' and yellow cranes visible in the background. The concrete dock walls and caisson gate at the far end are clearly visible as water rushes in with significant force.
    A submarine is positioned in a dry dock facility undergoing maintenance or refit operations. The vessel is viewed from a bow-on elevated perspective, revealing workers on the deck surrounded by orange safety scaffolding and barriers. The dry dock appears to be at a naval shipyard, with industrial cranes, buildings, and waterfront infrastructure visible in the background.
    An aerial view of a naval shipyard facility, likely Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, showing a large floating dry dock being maneuvered or flooded at a pier. Workers in high-visibility vests are visible on the dock and surrounding quay areas, with turbulent water indicating active ballasting or de-ballasting operations. A gray naval vessel is moored to the right, and what appears to be the USS Missouri battleship memorial is visible in the background across the harbor.
    A large military submarine is positioned in a dry dock facility, partially flooded, undergoing maintenance or inspection operations. The facility appears to be a naval shipyard with multiple cranes, scaffolding, and support structures visible. Personnel in safety gear are present on walkways and platforms surrounding the vessel.
    A large military submarine is positioned in what appears to be a dry dock or launch facility, partially submerged in water alongside a concrete dock structure. An American flag is visible on scaffolding above the vessel, and numerous personnel in military and civilian attire are present on walkways and platforms. The submarine's sail (conning tower) is visible with draft markings, and the bow is covered with a protective dome cover.
    A crane or dock equipment operator is seated at a control console inside an elevated cab, overseeing a dry dock facility where at least two submarines are undergoing maintenance or refit. A barge labeled 'REGULAR No. 2A' is positioned alongside the submarines in the dry dock basin. The facility appears to be a busy naval shipyard with numerous workers, vehicles, and support structures visible.
    A military submarine is undergoing maintenance or refit in a dry dock facility, with the dock partially flooded. Workers in navy uniforms are visible on scaffolding platforms atop the submarine's hull, and the sail (conning tower) is partially covered with a protective tarp. The facility appears to be a naval shipyard, identifiable by the blue crane marked 'P-76' in the background.
    A large military submarine is moored alongside a dry dock or naval shipyard facility, undergoing maintenance or refit work. Scaffolding and temporary work platforms with orange safety barriers are erected on the vessel's hull and sail area, with a tarpaulin covering part of the upper structure. Several workers are visible on the deck, and steam or vapor is visible near the sail, suggesting active mechanical work.
    The image shows a naval shipyard facility with a submarine moored alongside a dry dock or pier undergoing maintenance work. A large blue gantry crane labeled 'P-76' with a yellow boom is actively lifting a large steel scaffolding or work platform structure. The facility appears to be a U.S. Navy installation, likely Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii, based on the tropical vegetation and architectural style visible in the background.
    A commercial or military diving operation is underway at a concrete pier or dock. One fully equipped diver in a black dry suit with SCUBA gear is entering the water via a metal ladder/ramp, while three support personnel on the dock assist and monitor. Multiple ropes, hoses, and equipment are staged on the dock surface.
    An aerial view of a waterway or basin shows a diver standing on or near a submerged object in green-tinted water. A large rectangular metal lifting frame is suspended above the water by yellow straps attached to a crane, with additional yellow rigging lines hanging down toward the water. The scene appears to be a salvage, recovery, or underwater inspection operation conducted from an industrial dock or quay.
    The image shows a naval shipyard facility, likely Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii, based on the distinctive mountain backdrop and tropical setting. A large floating dry dock is being maneuvered into position between two concrete piers, with numerous workers in high-visibility safety gear observing and managing the operation. Industrial cranes, warehouses, and shipyard infrastructure are visible throughout the facility.
    A large floating dry dock gate or caisson is being maneuvered by a tugboat in what appears to be a naval shipyard, likely Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii based on the mountainous backdrop and tropical vegetation. Workers in high-visibility safety vests and hard hats are visible on the dock structure, the pier, and surrounding areas. The operation involves multiple personnel and mooring lines to position the massive steel structure.
    The image shows an active naval shipyard facility, identifiable as Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard based on visible signage. A large floating dry dock caisson (gate) is being maneuvered by tugboats in the harbor channel, with workers in high-visibility safety gear visible on top of the structure. The blue crane labeled 'P-76' dominates the background, surrounded by industrial buildings, piers, and additional naval vessels.
    An aerial view shows a gray rigid inflatable boat (RIB) being handled at a dock or pier over turquoise-green water. Multiple workers wearing yellow hard hats and navy blue shirts are managing lines and operating the vessel. The operation appears to be a boat launch or recovery procedure involving both dock personnel and crew aboard the RIB.
    A submarine is docked at a naval shipyard undergoing maintenance or refit operations, with extensive scaffolding and orange safety netting surrounding its sail (conning tower). Workers in hard hats are visible both on the scaffolding and on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) in the foreground, which appears to be handling mooring lines. The facility shows active industrial operations with storage areas, temporary structures, and multiple personnel on the pier.
    A naval shipyard facility, likely Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii, showing a submarine undergoing maintenance or dry-dock operations. A tugboat is assisting in maneuvering the submarine near floating dry-dock sections labeled 'AFT' and 'FWD'. Workers in safety gear are visible on the docks and surrounding structures, with the Koolau mountain range and urban Honolulu visible in the background.
