HII to restore original site

The site of the original Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp., founded in 1938, was decimated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. For the company’s 80th anniversary, the East Bank site in Pascagoula, Miss., will be reactivated and restored to support Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (HII) current ship construction and modernization programs; and prepare for future work, including the next-generation of amphibious assault and surface warfare ships. Work on the project will begin immediately, and will likely take about two years to finish. The primary component of the project includes the addition of large, covered areas for construction of ship assemblies and components as well as the restoration of an outfitting pier.
