⚓📰 #USNAVY UPDATE: USS Colorado Returns to Fleet from Maintenance Ahead of Schedule, Accelerating Pacific Readiness PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii— Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Colorado (SSN 788) completed a scheduled maintenance period at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY & IMF) 29 days ahead of schedule June 10, 2026. Effective and efficient maintenance keeps the U.S. Navy lethal and ready to defend the nation and maximizes the lifespan of its vessels. By returning Colorado to the fleet ahead of schedule, the shipyard and crew demonstrated exceptional professionalism and capability. Maintenance was completed early through close partnership between the shipyard and Colorado’s crew. Using the Navy’s world-class planning processes, the joint team executed a complex work package safely and efficiently. Operating seamlessly within the submarine's confined spaces, an integrated team of shipyard craftsmen, engineers, support staff, and crew members utilized decisive, deckplate-level problem solving to complete repairs. “Finishing ahead of schedule is not about rushing, it’s about hard work and persistence,” said U.S. Navy Capt. Ryan McCrillis, commander of PHNSY & IMF. “It’s producing first-time, high-quality work and attacking every roadblock with urgency. It’s a team effort, from the newest apprentice to senior shipyard leaders, the ship’s force, the project team, and support from the fleet and headquarters.”

The eyes of the world were upon them - and today, we honor their legacy as we live in the freedom secured by their noble sacrifice.

One battle forever changed the course of history. 84 years ago, America turned the tide in the Pacific by dealing the Imperial Japanese Navy a stunning defeat at the Battle of Midway, sending the four fleet carriers of the Combined Fleet beneath the waves. Though three more years of grueling warfare lay ahead, through the courage and sacrifice of American Sailors, Marines, and aviators, the United States would never again surrender the strategic initiative.

Vigilance. Discipline. Professionalism. These are the standards of our @USMC Marine Security Guards who serve across the globe - in every clime and place. It was an honor to recognize one of our newly promoted watchstanders @USEmbassyFrance. Semper Fi.
