HI HR128

Expresses the Hawaii House of Representatives' strong support for constructing a floating drydock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

Identifies the floating drydock as critical for expanding the shipyard's capacity to service submarines and surface vessels, strengthening national defense and the Navy's Pacific Fleet operations.

Notes the floating drydock would generate significant economic benefits for Hawaii, including high-paying jobs, investment, and workforce development in maritime and defense industries.

References Act 45, Session Laws of Hawaii 2019, which previously authorized special purpose revenue bonds for Pearl Harbor Floating Drydock, LLC to construct the drydock, though those bonds were never issued due to higher-than-anticipated costs.

Directs transmission of certified copies to the President, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Navy, Indo-Pacific Command Commander, and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
