We are the largest supplier of U.S. Navy surface combatants and simultaneously build four classes of ships, pioneering the development and production of technologically advanced and highly capable vessels for the surface navy fleet.

It’s the talented Ingalls Structural Welders who bond the steel together, giving our ships their strength and integrity and keeping our sailors, military, and nation safe. If you possess the talent, skill, ability or willingness to learn, you may become a valued team member.
