Patty Murray, Sen. Maria Cantwell and Rep. Derek Kilmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It is deeply disturbing to see the administration unilaterally raid funds from these vital projects in Washington and across the country to fund an ineffective, completely unnecessary border wall,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Our men and women in uniform deserve better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement says the project funding at Naval Base Kitsap would have been used to build a pier for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitsapsun.com\/story\/news\/2019\/09\/04\/funding-coast-guard-pier-project-bangor-cut-border-wall\/2213799001\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maritime Force Protection Unit<\/a>, which protects submarines on the way to and from the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kilmer earlier said the project would allow all three Navy Seawolf-class submarines to be homeported there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cuts result from a Feb. 15, 2019, declaration by Trump that a national emergency exists at the southern border that requires the use of the armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Secretary Mark Esper has authorized the 11 projects that involve placing and expanding fencing and barriers along the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7360\" height=\"4912\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg 7360w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg?resize=768,513 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1025 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coast-Guard-Kitsap.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1367 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 7360px) 100vw, 7360px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Coast Guard 64-foot Special Purpose Craft-Screening Vessel from the Maritime Force Protection Unit in Bangor, Wash., is pictured crossing through the Hood Canal Bridge during exercise Northern Vindicator on Sept. 23, 2015. The SPC-SV, a Navy-owned vessel operated by Coast Guard crews, is used to escort submarines to and from Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. (Coast Guard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Navy Times editor\u2019s note: <\/b>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.secnav.navy.mil\/fmc\/fmb\/Documents\/19pres\/MCON_Book.pdf\" target=_blank>MCON Book<\/a>, this project was designed to construct a pile-support reinforced concrete berthing pier for two 250-foot Blocking Vessels, with integrated wave screens to protect adjacent shoreline from waves and underside pier utilities from floating debris, plus shelter Transit Protection System small craft during storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It eventually will have a reinforced concrete access trestle to the pier and a boat shop with high bay, pedestal jib cranes and enough slab on grade to support 30 small craft. There will be a diesel fuel station and workers will need to add lines for potable and storm water and sanitary sewers and systems for fire protection and collecting industrial waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned above, these facilities are required to support MFPU Bangor\u2019s mission to escort submarines when transiting between the homeport and surface\/dive points in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and test range. That\u2019s mandated by the National Security Presidential Directive and Instructions through the Nuclear Weapons Security Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military planners wanted this project because the 250-foot BVs are in a constant \u201cnomadic state,\u201d shifting berths due to a lack of adequate pier space. In Bangor, officials estimate they need berthing spaces about 253 days per year. They apparently moor now at Marginal North Pier in the restricted area, if space is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for BV maintenance, the program has less than half the space it requires and it\u2019s spread across multiple facilities. Small craft maintenance occurs in three facilities and seven temporary storage structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crews draw their fuel from a converted Ship Waste Oily Barge, which costs about $800,000 per year for up to 14 weeks of dry-docking overhaul and tank inspection and repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To resupply the SWOB, workers spend 12 hours towing it from Defense Logistics Agency Manchester and back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naval Base Kitsap wanted to build a pier for the Maritime Force Protection Unit, which
