Kings Bay, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bill to help Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay prepare for the new Columbia-class submarine passed the U.S. Senate.
Sen. Ossoff introduced the Kings Bay Trident Modernization Act to authorize construction of a trident refit facility expansion at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay as the installation prepares for the arrival of the new Columbia-class submarine.
The legislation would strengthen U.S. national security and help the base consolidate management of Naval activities that support the Trident submarine program.
The legislation passed the Senate as part of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act.
“The team protecting our nation at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay needs continued support for their heroic efforts,” said Sen. Ossoff. “That is why I introduced and now passed through the Senate this bill to upgrade facilities so we are investing in Kings Bay to prepare it for the equipment and missions that are coming.”
Sen. Ossoff continues working to strengthen national security and improve military infrastructure.
In January, Sen. Ossoff delivered new resources to strengthen energy and national security and upgrade infrastructure at NSB Kings Bay.
In 2023, Sen. Ossoff delivered key upgrades to NSB Kings Bay to help prepare to the arrival of the Columbia-class submarines.
