Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) is America’s largest military shipbuilding company and a leading provider of professional services to the U.S. government. Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, HII designs, constructs and maintains nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, submarines and other complex vessels for the U.S. Navy. The company’s products include nuclear aircraft carriers, Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarines, as well as amphibious assault ships, destroyers and cutters.
Established in 2011 as a spin-off from Northrop Grumman’s shipbuilding operations, HII traces its heritage to two historic builders: Newport News Shipbuilding, founded in the 19th century, and Ingalls Shipbuilding, founded in 1938. Together these divisions have delivered dozens of capital ships and hundreds of combatant and support vessels. The company’s long-standing shipyard facilities are located in Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana, supporting a highly skilled workforce of engineers, technicians and craftsmen.
In addition to ship construction, Huntington Ingalls Industries operates a Technical Solutions segment that offers a broad range of services including nuclear and non-nuclear maintenance, modernization, repair, digital transformation, unmanned systems integration, cybersecurity solutions and training. These capabilities support not only the U.S. Navy but also other branches of the Department of Defense, federal agencies and allied partners, helping to ensure mission readiness and extend the service life of critical assets.
Serving primarily domestic defense and maritime markets, HII maintains a network of design, engineering and production facilities across the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. Since April 2023, the company has been led by President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher C. Kastner. Under his leadership, HII continues to focus on technological innovation, operational excellence and sustainability as it fulfills long-term contracts and pursues opportunities in shipbuilding and national security solutions.
