Construction and career
YFD-67 was built by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Co., in Chicago, Illinois in 1945. She was delivered to the Navy on 1 January 1945 and commissioned later that year.[2] The dry dock was later re-designated as AFDM-10 and given the name Resolute.
In November 1984, USS Finback (SSN-670) commenced her Selected Restricted Availability (SRA) docked in Resolute.[3] On 25 January 1987, USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-709) began a SRA that included drydocking in Resolute at Norfolk.[4]
Resolute dry docked Los Angeles-class submarines on 25 June 1995 and 12 April 1996.[5][6] USS Oklahoma City (SSN-723) was dry docked on 12 August 1996.[7] Later that year on 12 December, USS Minneapolis–Saint Paul (SSN-708) underwent repair work.[8]
In December 2004, the dry dock was towed to the West Coast and leased to Todd Pacific Shipyards.[2] On 5 February 2014, USS Momsen (DDG-92) was repaired on board the former Resolute.[9] In early January 2019, USCGC Healy (WAGB-20) was overhauled and refitted inside the dry dock.[10] From December 2019 until mid-2021, cruisers USS Chosin (CG-65) and USS Cape St. George (CG-71) were dry docked for Modernization Periods (MODPRD). Other ships worked on include USS Sampson (DDG-102), USS Coronado (LCS-4) and USS Manchester (LCS-14)[11]
