Back in 2018, category 5 Hurricane Michael severely damaged Building 544 on Naval Support Activity (NSA) Panama City, Florida.  Building 544 is a research and development facility for Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC).

Now, two and a half years later, the U.S. Navy (USN) announced it will spend $9.3-million to re-build Building 544.  It is hoped the project will be completed by September 2022.
