The shipyard is part of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hick which is adjacent to Honolulu.
It is across the harbor from the Pearl Harbor National Memorial which on Saturday will mark the 78th anniversary of the attack by Japan that propelled the US into World War II.
Pearl Harbor houses the headquarters for the US Pacific Fleet and is the home port for 10 destroyers and 15 submarines.
