On May 15, 2003, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and the Naval Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Pacific Northwest (located at Bangor, Bremerton and Everett, WA) consolidated into one maintenance activity - creating PSNS & IMF. The consolidation improves fleet readiness by allowing the Navy to accomplish the highest priority, real-time ship maintenance requirements while achieving the most maintenance effort possible for the tax dollar.
The sharing of expertise and resources between the Bremerton and Bangor sites provides the Navy with a streamlined approach to maintenance and allows for the savings to be reinvested in the fleet. The Shipyard is proud of its history as a naval presence on the West Coast since 1891 and of its current status as a world-class maintenance facility for the U.S. Navy.
The combined organization is better equipped to continue to provide superb leadership and continuous process improvement in the areas of productivity, environmental stewardship, and technical innovation. Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility is the Pacific Northwest’s largest Naval shore facility and one of Washington State’s largest industrial installations.
