PHOTO RELEASE--Huntington Ingalls Industries Hosts Sen. Mazie Hirono at Newport News Shipbuilding
2019年9月21日 - 5:00AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) today hosted Sen. Mazie K.
Hirono, D-Hawaii, at the company’s Newport News Shipbuilding
division.
Hirono, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services’
Subcommittee on Seapower, which oversees all Navy shipbuilding
programs, got a behind-the-scenes look at the new construction,
overhaul and maintenance of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and
submarines, as well as current facility investments and the
integration of digital technology across the shipyard.
Accompanied by Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer
Boykin and shipbuilders, Hirono visited several areas of the
shipyard. Her first stop: The Apprentice School, the cornerstone of
the company’s workforce development efforts to train and develop
the next generation of shipbuilders. The school is celebrating its
100-year anniversary this year.
“As the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee
on Seapower, I respect and appreciate the critical role American
shipbuilders such as Newport News Shipbuilding play in protecting
American national security and advancing our strategic interests
around the world,” Hirono said. “Throughout today’s visit, I saw
first-hand the ingenuity and dedication of the shipyard’s workforce
and will continue to be a strong advocate in the Senate for our
shipbuilders and public shipyards.”

The tour also included a stop at the aircraft carrier USS Gerald
R. Ford (CVN 78), which is undergoing post-shakedown availability
work, and Dry Dock 12, where shipbuilders are completing shaft
installation and hull painting on the aircraft carrier John F.
Kennedy (CVN 79) before its scheduled launch this fall. The ship is
more than 60% complete overall.
Hirono also toured the Supplemental Modular Outfitting Facility
(SMOF) and the Joint Manufacturing and Assembly Facility (JMAF),
which supports construction of the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft
carrier and Virginia- and Columbia-class submarine programs.
“It has been a privilege to host Senator Hirono today to
showcase the skill and craftsmanship of our shipbuilders and the
platforms we build to help defend our freedoms,” Boykin said. “We
appreciate her interest in our workforce development programs and
her support in our efforts to meet the needs and priorities of the
U.S. Navy for our nation’s defense.”
