About us
For 137 years, the ships built at Newport News Shipbuilding, 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 the nation’s sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of only two shipyards capable of designing and building nuclear- powered submarines. We also provide fleet services for naval ships. We are the largest industrial employer in Virginia, employing more than 25,000 people, many of whom are third- and fourth-generation shipbuilders.

A US Army veteran, Newport News shipbuilder Ajrien Woodley Reed has his sights set on training future generations of shipbuilders. Ajrien Woodley Reed Welding Apprentice Four years at NNS “I did eight years in the Army as a human resources specialist. This is a totally different world, and I love welding, being hands-on. I especially enjoyed welding in the Virginia-class program. I got to weld on a sail for one of the subs, and it was an interesting challenge. My goal, though, is to be a craft instructor or teach at the welding school.”

Read below to find out why Daisy Pace is proud to support the US Navy as a Newport News shipbuilder. Daisy Pace Mechanical Technician One year at NNS “I actually used to have my own horse business in New York, and one day decided I wanted to weld. I do still have two horses of my own, though, so I get to enjoy them on the weekends. I almost went into the Navy after graduating high school, so I see this job as a way to support those who serve. What I enjoy most is the atmosphere. That is the biggest thing for me – who I work with and what we are doing. It’s really awesome when people ask me what I do, and I get to answer ‘building ships for the U.S. Navy.’”
