Category:Dry Dock No. 1, Pearl Harbor

  • 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 7 December 1941 attack since three ships, the battleship USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) and the destroyers USS Cassin (DD-372) and USS Downes (DD-375), 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).
