Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) is one of the largest shipbuilders in the United States, operating through two primary divisions: Ingalls Shipbuilding and Newport News Shipbuilding. The company designs and builds nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, guided-missile destroyers, littoral combat ships, and nuclear submarines for the U.S. Navy.
HII is a publicly traded company and a key supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense, with significant involvement in classified defense programs and advanced maritime systems.
Huntington Ingalls Industries was formed in 2011 when Northrop Grumman spun off its shipbuilding division. The company traces its heritage back to the historic Newport News Shipbuilding (founded 1886) and Ingalls Shipbuilding (founded 1938), both of which became part of HII.
