Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII

Check out this week's shipbuilder spotlight! Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, pipe foreman Aniberka Sanchez didn’t have any work experience before coming to Ingalls Shipbuilding. Through dedication and perseverance, she moved to the United States and discovered her passion for shipbuilding. Aniberka’s career as a shipbuilder is an inspiration to people from all walks of life. So much so, her own sister followed in Aniberka’s footsteps and began her own journey at Ingalls. Thank you for being a shipbuilder, Aniberka!

On this day, we remember the 17 Sailors who lost their lives when the USS COLE DDG 67 was attacked on October 12, 2000. The ship sustained significant damage and was sent back to HII's #IngallsShipbuilding for repairs, where nearly a thousand shipbuilders went to work to return the ship to the fleet. As we think back on the ship’s legacy and strength, let it serve as a reminder of the pivotal role Ingalls shipbuilders have in protecting our country’s freedom.
