Building Freedom ... One Great Ship at a Time.

Northrop Grumman Ship Systems' Ingalls Operations is a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC), and part of the corporation's Ship Systems (NGSS) Sector.

Located in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and in continuous operation since 1938, Ingalls is Mississippi's largest private employer, with more than 10,000 employees. Ingalls is located on the Pascagoula River at the Mississippi Sound, strategically positioned for easy access to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, via a totally unobstructed 350-foot-wide by 40-foot-deep, 12-mile channel -- with no air draft restrictions. The shipyard is also easily accessed by the nation's interstate highway system, and by rail.

Ingalls is also adjacent to Naval Station Pascagoula, one of the U.S. Navy's newest, most modern and efficient surface combatant ship bases.

Ingalls' commercial and naval shipbuilding programs have been wide and varied. In fact, few shipyards can match the record of Ingalls for having produced such a diverse line of ships. Luxury cruise liners, general cargo vessels, containerships, tankers...all have been built for the Merchant Marine Fleet. Amphibious assault ships, cruisers, destroyers, submarine tenders, ammunition ships, as well as nuclear submarines, are among the naval vessels produced by Ingalls.

Since 1975, Ingalls has delivered 82 new, major surface warships into the U.S. Navy's fleet. Additionally, dozens of other naval combatants have returned to Ingalls over the years for modernization and overhaul-related projects.

Ingalls is the only U.S. shipyard in recent years to have delivered new-construction surface combatants to an international customer -- the three-ship Israeli Navy SA'AR 5 Class of corvettes -- and recently completed a major surface combatant modernization program for the Venezuelan Navy, aboard two LUPO Class frigates.
