Naval submarine6/22/2023 ![]() ![]() This will give our people the space and tools they need to forge high-performing teams and complete our mission of returning submarines to the fleet with superior quality and reliable delivery.” This facility will foster that environment by putting shops from 15 locations under one roof where they can work more efficiently with each other as they fulfill the mission. “It’s harder to think of a better example of that than the building before us today. “NAVSEA Commander Vice Admiral Tom Moore has challenged us to build an environment that promotes increased levels of innovation, collaboration and knowledge sharing,” said Shipyard Commander Captain Kai Torkelson at the dedication, referencing NAVSEA’s Campaign Plan to Expand the Advantage 2.0. The new facility consolidates submarine maintenance, production and support shops into a single facility adjacent to NNSY’s submarine drydocks and piers. This two-story structure features shops, storage and support spaces on the ground level, with office spaces and conference rooms on the second floor. The building was designed with an open office concept to facilitate collaboration between submarine project teams. The dedication marked the next crucial step in the NNSY’s realization of the Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan that will enhance the ability of the four public shipyards to meet the mission of delivering ships back to the fleet on time and within budget. Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) dedicated its new Submarine Maintenance Facility June 14.
