Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday visited Huntington
Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division
today to receive updates on each of the shipyard’s major programs,
recent investments in new facilities and advancements with
integrated digital shipbuilding to improve operational efficiency.
“We were pleased that Adm. Gilday had the opportunity to visit
Newport News and hear from our dedicated shipbuilders,” said
Jennifer Boykin, president of Newport News Shipbuilding. “These
visits ensure alignment with the Navy and allow us to demonstrate
our focus on continuous improvement, innovative use of
technologies, and uncompromising commitment to safety, quality,
cost and schedule — all of which enable us to provide our Navy with
the ships they need, when they need them, to ensure our national
security.”Gilday visited the submarine construction complex to see
modules and assemblies from the 12 Virginia-class submarines
currently under construction. He also visited the facilities where
aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) is under construction and
USS George Washington (CVN 73) is undergoing final outfitting and
test activities in its refueling and complex overhaul at Newport
News.
“It was important for me to come here and see the work being
done first hand,” Gilday said. “No doubt, Virginia-class submarines
and our nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be important parts
of our future naval force. I’m excited to see these ships come to
life over the months and years to come, and I don’t want anyone to
forget the fact that our sailors are depending on the quality work
done here and need to leave ready for the fight.”
