The U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) has released requirements for the construction of a new facility at Naval Station Yorktown, north of the Newport News Shipyard and the Norfolk Naval Base. The facility will be designed to serve CPS (conventional attack) hypersonic missiles, which will arm Zumwalt-class destroyers and Virginia-class nuclear submarines in Block V and Block VI versions. The choice of the Yorktown base is explained by the need to support CPS missile carriers in the Atlantic Ocean, including due to the upcoming deployment of VPM (Virginia Cargo Module) submarines in Norfolk, as well as the possible transfer of one of the Zumwalt-class destroyers to the East Coast. According to the contract, the complex will include "a large buried weapons storage facility in containers with two compartments", two auxiliary buildings to maintain climate control and power supply to the main storage facility, and an emergency generator. Each bay will have one 25-ton overhead crane (two total) operating on an overhead rail, likely to transfer CPS missiles and their components prior to loading or shipping, Navy News suggests. The requirements emphasize the need for reinforcement and protection: foundations, walls, floors, roofs, entrance and loading areas must be made of reinforced concrete. Earthing systems, lightning protection and ground cover are provided. The contract specifically calls for protection of the basements, probably in the form of a concrete roof and partial burial in the ground. For Zumwalt-class destroyers, CPS deployment is possible only after the completion of dock repairs of each of the three ships, during which the artillery installations are dismantled and replaced with vertical launch installations for CPS missiles - the so-called advanced cargo module.
