POV: You're looking at the remarkable work of HII shipbuilders. 😍 Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), built at Newport News Shipbuilding, A Division of HII, sails while underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations. October 11 marked 49 years since NNS shipbuilders laid the keel for #CVN70. We love seeing our ships sailing strong almost half a century later! 📸: U.S. Navy /MC3 Jordan

A fighting spirit older than our nation itself. October 13 marks 249 years since the establishment of the US Navy, which traces its roots back to the American Revolution. Today, that hunger to answer our nation's call to service remains strong. As America’s largest shipbuilder and with a 135-year history of advancing U.S. national defense, HII is proud to play a key role in building and maintaining the world's best maritime fleet and support its focus on delivering decisive combat power. Happy 249th birthday, and here's to many more! 🥳

#ThrowbackThursday to Oct. 11, 1975, when Newport News Shipbuilding laid the keel for USS Carl Vinson (#CVN70) and christened USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (#CVN69) during a dual ceremony. About 8,000 people were on hand to watch the keel authentication for CVN 70 before witnessing CVN 69 Ship’s Sponsor Mamie Eisenhower – the widow of President Dwight D. Eisenhower – christen that aircraft carrier. Following the christening, CVN 69 was launched and moved to a pier for outfitting work. Take a look at these photos from that busy day 49 years ago.

From The Magnolia State to The Golden State! ☀️ America-class amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (#LHA7) and San Antonio-class amphibious dock landing ship USS Somerset (#LPD25), both built by Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII, transit underneath the Golden Gate Bridge in support of San Francisco Fleet Week 2024 on October 6. We're incredibly proud that our ships were part of the 43rd year of this time-honored sea service celebration and that the people of California's Bay Area were able to witness these manifestations of our shipbuilders' dedication to serving the sailors of the US Navy so they can serve our great nation. #FleetWeekSF 📸: U.S. Navy / MC1 Monford
