History
In 1958, the Navy Numerical Weather Problems (NANWEP) group was established in Suitland, MD. NANWEP was later moved to Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in 1959. Fleet Numerical Weather Facility was established in 1961. In 1974, Fleet Numerical Weather Facility moved from NPS to its current location. In 1993, the current title Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) was adopted. In 2005, Fleet Numerical was realigned under Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NMOC). In 2008, Fleet Numerical was assigned the mission of 24X7 Global Submarine Weather Support (SUBWEAX). In 2011, Fleet Numerical celebrated 50years of supercomputing excellence of Fleet safety and Warfighter decision superiority with the completion of a new Computer Operations Center.
FNMOC is one of the DoD's primary central production site for worldwide computer-generated operational meteorological and oceanographic analysis and forecast products.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
