Navy Plans Nine New Ships at Pearl Harbor | Honolulu News

The Navy’s gearing up to transform Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam into the Pacific’s premier hub for nine new LSM-class amphibious ships, designed to land troops and gear directly on beaches — a game-changer for rapid power projection. By 2031, the base will host, maintain, and support these vessels, backed by massive infrastructure upgrades including a new Ford Island wharf with roll-on/roll-off capabilities. The Army Corps of Engineers is leading the environmental review, while the Navy is actively seeking public, tribal, and agency input by July 24th — including historic preservation consultations — to ensure all impacts are addressed. If you’ve got concerns or ideas, submit them by postmark to the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific.
