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.

Can you spot them all in this video?

May we always remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Shortly after the events of 9/11, Ingalls shipbuilders crafted three San Antonio-class warships—USS New York (LPD 21), USS Arlington (LPD 24) and USS Somerset (LPD 25) — which were named to honor the cities and the nearly 3,000 victims killed on that tragic day. Each one of these ships carries their memory. We are proud to have contributed to preserving the memory of those lost on 9/11 and to support our Armed Forces through the world-class ships we build.

As shipbuilders work through the intense summer months, Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII, division is continuing to find ways to stay cool. The chill water air conditioning units installed on George M. Neal (#DDG131) is a pilot program to help combat heat stress. The chill water units in the ship creates a cool down zone for shipbuilders to use during the day. They are strategically placed within the ship to lower temperatures in key spaces. This is one of many initiatives in place that will help keep our shipbuilders safe and free from heat related injuries.
