Fairbanks Morse Defense Awarded $100M Contract to Accelerate Global Submarine Availability

Fairbanks Morse Defense won a $99.09 million U.S. Navy contract to overhaul emergency diesel generators on six nuclear-powered submarines through 2030. The follow-on award covers repair work, parts and labor for critical systems on attack and ballistic-missile submarines, supporting a broader effort to extend service lives of selected Ohio- and Los Angeles-class boats. The company says it will use robotic welding and its Pit Stop overhaul approach to shorten maintenance work and deliver multiple overhauls each year. The value applies to this defined generator-maintenance scope, rather than a general submarine construction or fleet-wide availability contract.
