The Heritage Hour: A Glance into the Vital History of Norfolk Naval Shipyard Log 11-24: The Heart of NNSY Story by Victoria Pendleton, Non-Nuclear Inspection Employee Development Branch Quality Assurance Specialist Photos from the Shipyard Archives The many great achievements of Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) are often highlighted when looking back at the history of the shipyard, but none of those events would have been possible without the people who made those things happen. This time on Heritage Hour, as we prepare for the season of friends and family gathering, we look back at some of the people who set the groundwork for the community of shipyard personnel that we still see today.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work with Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Shop 89 Carrier Team Story by Susanne Greene, NNSY Public Affairs Specialist Photos Courtesy of Photos Courtesy of Shop 89 Shop 89 of Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Temporary Services Group (Code 990) is a support shop. When a carrier arrives, Shop 89 members build all the staging to hold the temporary services to power the carriers, as well as set up the brow stands, so the Navy can get personnel and NNSY’s workforce on and off the ship safely. They provide support from the time the carrier arrives until it leaves. Many of the trades cannot come aboard and start working until Shop 89 does their job.
