Replacement floating dry dock (35,000-ton)
NASSCO took delivery in August 2025 of a new 830 by 177 ft, 35,000-ton floating dry dock built by Gemak in Turkey, replacing the 40-year-old NASSCO Builder and able to dock any Navy ship except Nimitz-class carriers. As of January 2026 it was installed but not yet commissioned, with USS America planned as its first job; cost was not reported.
