For 140 years, the ships built at Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS), like the
American shipbuilders who built them, have served our nation in peace and war,
in times of adversity and in times of abundance. Our legacy of “Always Good
Ships,” includes the design, construction, overhaul and repair of more than 800
ships for the U.S. Navy and commercial customers.

Today, Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of HII, is proud to design, build and
maintain nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines and provide fleet
services for the U.S. Navy. Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, the
shipyard’s vast facilities span more than 550 acres along two miles of waterfront
on the historic James River.

We are the largest industrial employer in Virginia, employing more than 26,000
people, many of whom are third- and fourth-generation shipbuilders.
