Shipbuilders from NNS have worked at the site for several months, constructing steel panels that will eventually make up units of Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier Enterprise (CVN 80).

Additionally, HII will offer a windshield tour of the main NNS shipyard in Newport News for interested U.S. media following the event in Norfolk. Further details will be provided upon RSVP.
