HII Hosts U.S. State Department Official at Newport News Shipbuilding
16 Novembro 2023 - 8:30PM
HII (NYSE: HII) hosted the U.S. Department of State Under Secretary
for Arms Control and International Security at its Newport News
Shipbuilding division today.
Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins leads the Department of State efforts
in support of the trilateral Australia, United Kingdom and United
States (AUKUS) partnership implementation. She met with NNS
leadership and visited shipyard facilities that support
construction of Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines.
Additionally, Ambassador Jenkins participated in a tour and
discussion at the Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School that
focused on HII’s workforce development expertise.
The visit comes as HII continues its commitment to supporting
AUKUS, which was announced in March and set in motion tasking
across all three countries to determine the optimal pathway to
provide Australia with conventionally armed, nuclear-powered
submarines.
“We are grateful that Ambassador Jenkins invested time to see
firsthand the incredible work our shipbuilders do in service of our
nation,” said Dr. Latitia McCane, director of education at the
Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School. “We understand the
important role HII plays in advancing the AUKUS partnership.
Exploring ways to leverage our longstanding workforce development
expertise, including what we do here at The Apprentice School, can
be a key enabler to accelerating Australia’s nuclear workforce
readiness.”

“It was wonderful to visit Newport News Shipbuilding where I had
the opportunity to speak at the Apprentice School and interact with
the dedicated men and women building submarines at the shipyard,”
Jenkins said. “AUKUS is a generational opportunity. We are
investing in the workforce of all three partner nations, in order
to innovate, develop, and deliver the best skilled education and
jobs to our own and our partners.”
NNS is one of only two shipyards capable of designing and
building nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy. HII is a
member of the AUKUS Workforce Alliance (AWA), a dedicated
partnership committed to preparing a skilled workforce in support
of all steps of Australia’s optimal pathway to sovereign
nuclear-powered submarines.
