This paper discusses the engineering challenges and constraints encountered during the modernization of a submarine berth that was originally constructed over 100 years ago, to increase the number of contemporary vessels that could be berthed at the same time. Additionally, this paper describes the history of the facility, the engineering studies, and innovative solutions developed to extend its service life, as well as the proactive measures taken by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) to maintain efficient shipyard operations aligned with the goals of the Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP).
