description

Summary

Significance: At the time of completion, Dry Dock No. 1 was one of the largest and most modern dry docks in the world. In addition to its immense size, Dry Dock No. 1 was an important engineering and construction feat, employing a unique construction technique. Moreover, the dedication of the dry dock signified the dedication of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, since a base without a dry dock was inefficient and unserviceable in time of war. Dry Dock No. 1 was a major focus of the December 7, 1941 attack since 3 ships, including the USS Pennsylvania, were docked here. This resource is one of the most historically significant facilities in the Shipyard and is listed as a Category One historic resource in the 2001 Pearl Harbor Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan (ICRMP).
