The project would be built in several phases beginning in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complex would house 35 storage magazines and a range of support structures, enabling the relocation of existing Army munitions operations at Lualualei Annex in Waianae.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2019\/12\/24\/navy-planning-first-new-pearl-harbor-dry-dock-since-1943\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PH-MAIN.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Navy planning first new Pearl Harbor dry dock since 1943<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A surge in demand for attack submarines and the lengthening of Virginia-class submarines to carry more missiles prompted the new construction planning.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy is also building a new munitions facility at West Loch with 24 magazines to store Navy ordnance. Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii awarded Nan Inc. a $33 million contract last month to build the magazines by September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some community members said the public needs to be better informed about the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe plan contains too much uncertainty and undisclosed materials,\u201d Poka Laenui of the Institute for the Advancement of Hawaiian Affairs said. \u201cThe public is unable to effectively participate in this process or to condone an action which it does not

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ewa Beach historian John Bond said he believes a large area of western Oahu could be vulnerable to an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are very major impacts to the Ewa\/West Oahu community, and there have been no hearings or presentations made for the public to understand what is going to happen literally in their backyards,\u201d Bond said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Naval Facilities Engineering Command issued a statement saying the project would \u201cimprove safety by providing state-of-the-art magazine storage and significantly reducing the movement of ordnance on Oahu roadways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement added: \u201cThe safety of community residents is of the utmost importance, and explosive safety is calculated with extreme care and scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.S. military plan to expand a Pearl Harbor munitions
