HII

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. designs, builds, and maintains nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, operating as America's largest military shipbuilding company. Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, HII employs approximately 44,000 people and operates through three divisions: Ingalls Shipbuilding, Newport News Shipbuilding, and Mission Technologies. The company constructs aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, destroyers, and Coast Guard cutters, serving as the sole designer and builder of Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers and one of two providers of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. HII generates annual revenues exceeding $10 billion, with operations spanning major shipyards in Mississippi and Virginia, as well as facilities across the United States. The company spun off from Northrop Grumman in 2011 and has since expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including Alion Science and Technology in 2021 for $1.65 billion, strengthening its position in defense technology and mission-driven solutions. Newport News Shipbuilding maintains a near-monopoly on nuclear aircraft carrier construction, while Ingalls Shipbuilding produces multiple classes of surface combatants and amphibious vessels. HII's Mission Technologies division provides cyber, electronic warfare, intelligence, and fleet sustainment services, diversifying the company's traditionally shipbuilding-focused portfolio and positioning it as an integrated defense solutions provider with long-term U.S. government contracts.
