The facility will serve as a centralized, state-of-the-art hub for NRMD, enabling critical maintenance and repair operations for Trident-equipped submarines.
Currently, NRMD operations are dispersed across Kings Bay in temporary trailers, CONEX boxes, and facilities shared with the TRIDENT Refit Facility at Kings Bay. This project will consolidate these functions into a single, purpose-built structure, enhancing communication and collaboration between engineers and mechanics on the waterfront.
“There has been a tremendous amount of effort to get us to this point, and from our perspective, it has been a collaborative and satisfying experience,” said Brian Logan, deputy director of the Naval Regional Maintenance Department at Kings Bay. “The final design turned out to be spectacular…and today it is satisfying to take pause…and reflect on what all has been accomplished and what is coming."
This $136 million project is estimated to be completed by December 2028.
The NRMD plays a vital role in the operations and readiness of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet’s ballistic missile submarine force. The NRMD provides intermediate-level repair and maintenance of propulsion plant systems and components, ensuring submarines remain mission-ready.
