HII Uses Movie Release to Celebrate Its Workforce
2022年5月28日 - 12:45AM
With HII-built aircraft carriers featured prominently in the movie
release of “Top Gun: Maverick,” the nation’s largest shipbuilder
recognized the release as an opportunity to celebrate its
workforce, their contribution to national security and the
company’s growing technologies business. In Virginia, where HII is
the state’s largest industrial employer, the company’s Newport News
Shipbuilding division invited shipbuilders to get an early
screening of the movie.
“This team builds the most powerful and survivable ships in the
world in support of national security,” said Danyelle Saunders, who
leads the Newport News Shipbuilding Engagement, Diversity and
Inclusion Office. “We’re excited that the movie shines a light on
their hard work, and showcases how these incredibly capable
platforms function on behalf of the country.”
HII, a mission-driven defense and technologies partner for
customers worldwide, is America’s only builder of nuclear-powered
aircraft carriers.
A total of 800 Newport News Shipbuilding shipbuilders across
shifts were invited to get an early-screening of the movie after or
before work on Wednesday, May 25, and Thursday, May 26, before “Top
Gun: Maverick” officially hit theaters. Additionally, 1,200
vouchers have been provided for additional shipbuilders to see the
movie.

“It’s great the company would do this, especially a
pre-showing,” said Newport News Shipbuilding Engineering Technician
Will Wiley, who attended the Thursday screening. “We play a huge
role in building carriers, so it’s great to see something we were
part of on the big screen.”
DeWolfe “Chip” Miller, corporate vice president of customer
affairs for HII, contributed to the production of “Top Gun:
Maverick” during his career in the Navy as the commander of Naval
Air Forces.
“The aircraft carriers we build are the most technologically
advanced in the world,” Miller said. “We deliver them to the U.S.
Navy who man, train and equip sailors who breathe life into these
magnificent machines and take them to sea. Together, we are an
unstoppable team: shipbuilders and sailors. Our country needs that
team now more than ever.”
As America recognizes the 100-year legacy of aircraft carriers
this year, all U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carriers operating in
the Navy fleet today were built at Newport News Shipbuilding,
including USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and USS Abraham Lincoln
(CVN 72) seen in “Top Gun: Maverick.”
HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding and Mission Technologies divisions
also initiated similar efforts to connect employees with the
company’s mission through opportunities to receive tickets to see
the movie while it is in theaters.

recognized worldwide as America’s largest shipbuilder. With a
135-year history of trusted partnerships in advancing U.S. national
