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

This concurrent resolution (SCR 148) expresses the Hawaii Legislature's strong support for constructing a floating drydock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. It directly supports the U.S. Navy's maintenance operations by enabling the shipyard to service submarines and surface vessels more effectively. The resolution highlights that the project would strengthen national defense, create high-paying jobs in Hawaii, and boost the state's maritime and defense industries. As a non-binding resolution, it does not fund the project but urges federal officials to advance the initiative, citing prior authorization under Act 45 (2019) that was never implemented due to cost overruns.
