Members of the command workforce recognized for their hard work, dedication in support of the U.S. Navy throughout 2025

BREMERTON, Wash. -
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility Employee of the Year nominees, their co-workers, friends and family members gathered to honor the command's top employees during the shipyard's annual recognition ceremony at the Admiral Theatre in downtown Bremerton, Washington, April 22, 2026.
During the event, the command celebrated the accomplishments of 262 personnel, who were nominated for their job performance in 2025.
Capt. JD Crinklaw, commander, PSNS & IMF, presided over the event and emphasized how important it is to recognize employees who go above and beyond to exceed the standard.
"It is your dedication that keeps the Navy on mission, that sustains our shipyard and its reputation in support of our nation's defense. It's your creativity, your adaptability and your perseverance that allows this command to continue the important work that we do to maintain, modernize and retire our Navy's fleet. Without you, none of this is possible."
During the ceremony, 40 PSNS & IMF employees were recognized as winners across 24 separate categories. Those recognized were nominated by co-workers, supervisors or managers and voted upon by the shipyard's Incentive Awards Committee.
The 262 nominees represented the full spectrum of jobs at PSNS & IMF, and represented the 23 codes and shops that comprise shipyard operations.
Crinklaw praised the winners and nominees for the dedication they display in the work they do every day at PSNS & IMF.
"We care about the work we do. We care about the Navy, and we care about each other," Crinklaw said. "During my career, I've come to realize that the Navy isn't just about ships and submarines. It's about people. And you are the heart and soul of that mission. And if today's nominees are any indication, the future of the Navy - and the nation - is in very capable hands. We can't meet our mission to maintain, modernize, and retire our Navy's fleet without every single one of you."
