FMB Norfolk is the pit crew for submarines at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, performing scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs on subs in an average of 35 days or less. Composed of both civilian and military personnel, FMB works pier-side at Naval Station Norfolk and abroad to repair systems like pumps, valves, torpedo tubes, and hull components. Their integrated workforce allows FMB to complete over 90% of repairs on schedule. Recent successes include replacing a drain pump on the USS Helena in just 12 days and conducting inspections and repairs normally requiring dry dock on the USS Boise to save the Navy $30 million.
