On this day, we remember the 17 Sailors who lost their lives when the USS COLE DDG 67 was attacked on October 12, 2000. The ship sustained significant damage and was sent back to HII's #IngallsShipbuilding for repairs, where nearly a thousand shipbuilders went to work to return the ship to the fleet. As we think back on the ship’s legacy and strength, let it serve as a reminder of the pivotal role Ingalls shipbuilders have in protecting our country’s freedom.

We are proud to shine a spotlight on Ingalls shipbuilder Loraine Feliciano-Diaz. Loraine is an example of how you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Upon her husband's recruitment from Puerto Rico as an electrician at Ingalls, she made the decision to discover her own purpose in the shipyard. She is currently working in the Industrial Engineering department, where she is responsible for the distribution of vessel labor budgets for manufacturing services. This establishes the basis for measuring all labor performances. Loraine is proud of her growth as a shipbuilder. As she continues her career, she considers how far she has come and how everyone back in Puerto Rico is cheering for her success.
