STRONGLY SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FLOATING DRYDOCK AT PEARL HARBOR.

This House Resolution (HR 128) expresses the Hawaii State Legislature's support for constructing a floating drydock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. It does not create new law or funding but formally urges federal officials - including the President, Defense Secretary, and Navy leadership - to advance the project. The resolution cites the drydock’s potential to enhance naval maintenance capacity for submarines and ships, support Hawaii’s defense economy, and align with Navy strategic goals. It references prior state authorization (Act 45) for the project, noting that funding efforts were previously unrealized but the need remains. The resolution will be sent to federal leaders as a symbolic endorsement of the initiative.
