Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Pipefitter Shop (Shop 56) Pipefitter Anthony Mimms runs the gasket shop in Shop 56. Until recently, Mimms was the only one who made gaskets for all of the other shops, projects and NNSY’s remote locations. “Recently the Machinist Shop (Shop 31) gained the capability to make their own gaskets, but before that, I was the only one who made gaskets around here,” said Mimms. “I would make thousands of gaskets each year. Making gaskets entails a lot of math, but I’m okay with that because I am someone who loves to work with math.”
