What: Led by the Virginia Maritime Association, this project focuses on dredging the eastern branch of the Elizabeth River to ensure maritime readiness.
Why: Would provide the U.S. Navy immediate access to additional certified dry docks, which ultimately produces enormous fleet readiness gains, competitive cost savings, and helps meet the force-level goals of the U.S. Navy.
Impact: This modest investment will provide a return on investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in critical Navy readiness and a 40% increase in NAVSEA certified dry docks.
