Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Training - Tuesday, October 25, 2022

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard will be conducting routine security response training beginning at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.

The training will occur in multiple locations on the shipyard including the vicinity of the shipyard’s Gate 2 as well as in the Piscataqua River adjacent to the shipyard’s shorelines. This exercise is designed to enhance the training and readiness of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard’s Naval Security Force. This is not in response to any specific threat, but is regularly scheduled training.

Due to the location of the training exercises, members of the public may hear noises or see security personnel, including U.S. Navy harbor patrol boats, responding to the training event.

The timing of the training exercise coincides with normal closure hours of Gate 2 to minimize disruptions. Gate 1 will remain open as the main access/egress to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
