In Service of the
Nation

For over eight decades, we’ve designed, built and maintained amphibious ships, destroyers, and cutters for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard. As the largest supplier of U.S. Navy surface combatants, we are simultaneously building four classes of ships and have pioneered the development and production of technologically advanced, highly capable ships for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps and international and commercial customers, including nearly 70 percent of the Navy surface fleet.

As part of our legacy, Ingalls Shipbuilding has continuously proven to have the world-class talent, experience, and facilities to simultaneously build more classes of ships than any other shipyard in America. Ingalls is the builder-of-record for both the Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) guided missile destroyers and America class (LHA 6) large deck amphibious ships; and the sole builder of the Navy San Antonio class (LPD 17) amphibious assault ships and Legend class National Security Cutters for the Coast Guard.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

“People are at the core of what we do, both the power behind it and the reason for it. Our commitment to community both inside our shipyard and outside of it in our communities is one of the things that sets shipbuilders apart. Through generosity of time, energy, strength and spirit, our shipbuilding family demonstrates again and again a dedication to helping one another and to making our communities strong. Shipbuilders are talented and determined, but also extraordinarily compassionate and generous.”

- Kari Wilkinson, President, Ingalls Shipbuilding

At Ingalls we take seriously the opportunity to serve the community in ways beyond being a source of dynamic careers and stable jobs. We recently launched “Ingalls Cares,” a program that produces and manages community volunteer projects and hands-on engagement opportunities for our workforce. For example, in the last year, we awarded over $99,000 in educational STEM grants to schools and educational organizations in Mississippi and Alabama, donated time and goods to book drives for children and holiday Angel Tree drives, raised funds and participated in the annual Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Biloxi, Mississippi, and worked with transitioning sailors, soldiers, airmen, and Marines as part of the Transition Assistance Program with Fleet Support Services.
