Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Breton

Fleet Maintenance Facility (FMF) Cape Breton is a strategic naval asset that exists to support the operations of the Pacific Fleet.  FMF Cape Breton is responsible to the Commander Maritime Forces Pacific for the provision of effective naval engineering, repair and maintenance services to support the operational capabilities required in the Fleet and other organizations within Maritime Forces Pacific. 

The unit also supports the ADM (Material) Group in the provision of services to the Fleet. It is the most versatile facility of its type on the Canadian west coast with a highly skilled work force and a broad range of capabilities including submarine support. 

FMF Cape Breton was formed April 1, 1996 by amalgamating the former Ship Repair Unit (Pacific), Naval Engineering Unit (Pacific), and Fleet Maintenance Group (Pacific) into one unit. The unit is organized into six departments:  Production,  Engineering, Corporate Services, Quality Management, Human Resources and Business Planning/Finance. The FMF Cape Breton defence team consists of  approximately 815 civilians and 148 military members in a fully integrated workforce.
