Bremerton is home to Naval Base Kitsap — the largest naval installation on the West Coast and home to a significant portion of the US Navy's nuclear submarine fleet including Trident ballistic missile submarines carrying the most powerful nuclear weapons in the American arsenal. The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard repairs nuclear-powered warships. The Cascadia Subduction Zone creates a major earthquake and tsunami threat.
