New Navy Ship Repair Facility opens in San Diego County

NATIONAL CITY - A new Navy ship repair and support center has opened at the South end of Naval Base San Diego.

Austal USA will run the 15-acre site dedicated to smaller and mid-size vessels and is currently employing 120 people, but the company hopes to expand that workforce to about 400. The company will also be adding a 531-foot floating dry dock for littoral combat ships and Coast Guard cutters.

The addition of the facility will help with the Navy's new focus on the Pacific theater.
