Hangar shipped to Maine

GULFPORT, Miss. -- A composite helicopter hangar built by Ingalls Shipbuilding in Gulfport is heading for Bath Iron Works in Maine. The 60 foot wide structure took nearly two years to construct for the Zumwalt class destroyer. Another, even larger composite structure, the deckhouse, is still being built and is expected to be shipped to Maine this summer. (Source: WLOX-TV 05/07/12, Sun Herald 05/08/12)
