THE LEGEND CONTINUES
On March 31, 2011, Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) formed as an independently, publicly traded company when two legacy shipyards joined forces to become the nation’s largest shipbuilder. Since then, HII’s portfolio expanded further with the establishment of a third division that delivers all-domain technology solutions to civil, commercial, and defense customers both domestically and internationally.
Today HII is a global, all-domain defense provider with a more than $45B shipbuilding backlog and more than 43-thousand employees. It is the largest industrial employer in both Virginia, where the company is headquartered, and in Mississippi. The company’s name derives from the founders of its shipbuilding divisions: Collis Potter Huntington, who founded Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, and Robert Ingersoll Ingalls Sr., who established Ingalls Shipbuilding.
NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING
Since 1886, the ships built at Newport News Shipbuilding, like the American shipbuilders who built them, have served our nation in peace and war, in times of adversity and times of abundance. HII’s legacy of “Always Good Ships” includes the design, construction, overhaul and repair of hundreds of ships for the U.S. Navy and commercial customers.
Today, NNS, a division of HII, is the nation’s sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of only two shipyards capable of designing and building nuclear-powered submarines, leveraging our unique expertise in nuclear propulsion, naval design and manufacturing. NNS provides fleet services for our ships worldwide.
The division is currently building Ford-class aircraft carriers and Virginia-class fast-attack submarines, and performing Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) on Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.
Located in Newport News, Virginia, NNS facilities span more than 550 acres, strategically positioned in one of the great harbors of the East Coast. Many of the division’s more than 20,000 employees are third, fourth and even fifth generation shipbuilders.
INGALLS SHIPBUILDING
In 1938, Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation was founded by Robert Ingersoll Ingalls Sr. (1882–1951), on the East Bank of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. It started out building commercial ships until the 1950s, when Ingalls started bidding on Navy work.
Today, Ingalls Shipbuilding, a division of HII, has pioneered the development and production of technologically advanced, highly capable warships for the surface Navy fleet, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, and foreign and commercial customers. Located in Pascagoula, Ingalls Shipbuilding facilities span more than 800 acres of land along the Pascagoula River. Employing 11,500 employees, Ingalls is the largest manufacturing employer in Mississippi and a major contributor to the economic growth of Mississippi and Alabama. Ingalls is the largest supplier of U.S. Navy surface combatants.
