October 19 2016 - 11:40AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding
division hosted Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., on Tuesday for his first
tour of the shipyard, which is the largest private employer in the
state.
“As the largest employer in Mississippi, Ingalls sets the
standard for the shipbuilding industry,” Kelly said after the tour.
“Their commitment to the nation, building the best ships for our
service members, and their talented team members are the type of
dedication that makes America great.”
Kelly met with Ingalls leadership during his tour of the
facility and had the chance to meet the shipbuilders on the
amphibious assault ship Tripoli (LHA 7) and amphibious transport
dock Portland (LPD 27). He was also reunited with Ingalls employees
who were fellow veterans of the National Guard’s 890th Engineer
Battalion in Gulfport.

“It is always a privilege to host one of our U.S. Congressmen so
they can see the quality, pride and skills of our workforce,” said
Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias. “Representative
Kelly’s visit allowed him to understand the complexity of our
facility and the processes it takes to build four classes of
military ships simultaneously at an affordable price. We thank him
for visiting our shipyard and supporting Mississippi’s
shipbuilders.”
