Feb. 14 (UPI) -- The Navy's assistant secretary for research, development and acquisition visited Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility this week to see sites that will be affected by the Navy's $21 billion Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program.
"The Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan is recapitalizing these shipyards, putting in new facilities, improving efficiency, improving the quality of life for the shipyard workers so they can continue to get our ships in and out on time," Secretary James F. Geurts said in a press release.
