Approximately 25% of the shipyard's workload involves inactivation, reactor compartment disposal, and recycling of ships. It has pioneered an environmentally safe method of deactivating and recycling nuclear-powered ships. This process places the U.S. Navy in the role of being the world's only organization to design, build, operate, and recycle nuclear-powered ships. On 15 May 2003 PSNS and IMF were consolidated into what is now known as PSNS & IMF. PSNS is the only U.S. facility certified to recycle nuclear ships. During all this period Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has scrapped more than 125 submarines and some cruisers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Navy exploring private firms for typically PSNS work|url=http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/navy-exploring-private-firms-for-typically-psns-work-399445df-bafd-47dc-e053-0100007f5f26-389653521.html|access-date=12 August 2016}}</ref> ===Reserve fleet=== The shipyard contains a portion of the [[United States Navy reserve fleets|United States Navy reserve fleet]], a large collection of inactive U.S. Navy vessels.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=45202 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005073233/http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=45202 |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 October 2012 |title=Navy Decommissions USS Kitty Hawk |date=12 May 2009 |website=America's Navy |access-date=15 December 2015}}</ref> The aircraft carrier {{USS|Kitty Hawk|CV-63}} was [[Reserve fleet|mothballed]] there until May 2022 when it was removed for scrapping.<ref name=4carriers>{{cite web |url=http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/local-news/kitty-hawk-gives-bremerton-a-quartet-of-vietnam |title=Kitty Hawk Gives Bremerton a Quartet of Vietnam-Era Carriers |last=Friedrich |first=Ed |date=6 February 2009 |website=Kitsap Sun |access-date=15 December 2015}}</ref>
