HII

HII is proud that two of HII’s advanced capabilities — the Virginia-class submarine USS Delaware (SSN 791), built by Newport News Shipbuilding, A Division of HII, and the REMUS medium unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), built by HII Unmanned Systems — will be operationally deployed together to enhance the mission capabilities of the US Navy. The Yellow Moray system, which facilitates the end-to-end submarine torpedo tube launch and recovery of a REMUS UUV from Virginia-class submarines, is a game-changer, significantly boosting the operational capabilities of the U.S. Navy's submarines and their contributions to our nation's unified combatant commands worldwide. At HII, we are honored to continue our partnership with the U.S. Navy, increasing national security through the innovative integration of our manned and unmanned systems. Together, we are driving advancements that ensure the safety and effectiveness of our armed forces. 📝Story via Naval News by Dr Lee Willett https://lnkd.in/eyS4Z_fr

Today, Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII, had the honor of hosting Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition Hon. Nickolas Guertin.

“HII’s view is that Australian supply base is highly competent, it just needs to scale. We've had 175 different Australian companies register with us to potentially become suppliers…We've had about 30 different companies begin the qualification process….So I think there's a lot to work with.”   Eric Chewning was recently interviewed for the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's “Stop the World” podcast on the role of industry in the success of AUKUS.

Newport News Shipbuilding, A Division of HII's Shipbuilders Together Realizing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (STRIDE) ERG hosted a table at the 36th Annual Hampton Roads Pride Fest on Saturday, June 22. 🏳️🌈 Braving a heat index over 100 degrees, almost two dozen shipbuilders represented NNS at Town Point Park in Norfolk, Va.

As we prepare to celebrate the Independence Day holiday, I invite you to watch this moving guitar performance of the national anthem by one of our own – NNS firefighter and Apprentice School graduate William Davis IV. We filmed him in our shipyard as a symbolic reminder that shipbuilding is more than a job. It’s an honorable and noble calling that directly supports the freedoms we hold so dear. Thank you for keeping our Navy safe and our nation free. Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

At HII, our mission is to serve those who protect our freedom. As we celebrate America this #IndependenceDay, we also celebrate our employees for continuing to deliver on our promise of delivering the world’s most powerful ships and all-domain solutions that safeguard our nation and guarantee liberty for all.

Members of Mission Technologies’ HII Unmanned Systems business group received MODSIM World 2024 Best Paper Award.
