Norfolk Naval Shipyard Area Development Plan

About this video

The Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) Area Development Plan (ADP) is the Navy’s long-term, comprehensive approach to recapitalizing the shipyard and improving aircraft carrier and submarine maintenance. Under the Navy’s Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP), this master plan provides modernized facilities for the workforce, reduces transit time for workers and material, and integrates construction schedules to minimize disruptions to shipyard operations and scheduled fleet maintenance.

Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program

SIOP is delivering integrated investments in infrastructure and industrial plant equipment at the Navy’s four public shipyards, expanding shipyard capacity and optimizing shipyard configuration to meet the Navy’s nuclear-powered fleet maintenance requirements. Recapitalizing the shipyards' century-old infrastructure increases maintenance throughput and improves quality of service for the Navy’s 37,000 shipyard employees.

Since 2018, SIOP has completed nearly 60 facilities projects, totaling over $1.8 billion, including utilities, flood protection, and training facilities. More than 300 items of industrial plant equipment, valued at over $750 million, have been delivered, including new cranes, faster and more precise shaft lathes, 5-axis routers, and precision cutting machines.

Nearly 50 additional projects worth $7 billion are under contract, including three new dry docks -- the first at public shipyards since 1962 -- and conversion of a fourth, built in 1942, for Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers, as well as projects to enhance the resiliency and capacity of shipyard utilities.
