Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Fleet Maintenance Submarines (FMB) team recently met a vital milestone installing a new mast on USS Oregon (SSN 793) during its Continuous Maintenance Availability (CMAV)! Shipyard Commander Rear Admiral Kavon Hakimzadeh met with the team at the naval station to observe this milestone and discuss FMB’s dedicated support to the fleet. The team also achieved an early completion for Oregon’s Fat Line Handling System, a significant depot-level repair. These accomplishments led to FMB completing Oregon’s availability six days early on Sept. 15, marking FMB’s sixth CMAV completed early or on time in 2025. FMB has also executed 11 voyage repair periods this year providing needed maintenance to submarines while underway. FMB is considered a “mini shipyard” located at Naval Station Norfolk with its own production personnel who can perform ready maintenance and keep submarines on schedule to meet their missions. “Bravo Zulu on the early completion of Fat Line Handling System repairs,” said Vice Admiral Gaucher, Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic. “Shop 38 [Outside Machine Shop] and FMB were vital to keeping Oregon materially ready to meet operational tasking. The ability to complete complex depot level repairs at an Intermediate Repair Facility will be critical to sustaining the battle-ready force today and in the future.”
