Navy Submarine Maintenance Delays Fall More Than 40% in FY26
The Navy says submarine maintenance delays fell to 780 days in FY26, down from roughly 1,400 days in each of the prior two fiscal years, with further improvement projected for FY27. The trend points to opportunities for Virginia-class sustainment suppliers, but GAO data showing only 11% of depot periods finished on schedule highlights continuing shipyard capacity and execution risks.
