HII remembers the lives that were lost during an unspeakable act of terrorism on our great nation more than two decades ago. Wednesday marks 23 years since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, that resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. USS New York (#LPD21), built by Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII, was constructed using approximately seven tons of steel salvaged from the former twin towers of the World Trade Center. Two other Ingalls-built ships, USS Arlington (#LPD24) and USS Somerset (#LPD25), are named to honor the victims of 9/11 and incorporate steel from the other sites of the attacks. Today, these ships all sail to carry out our mission of protecting peace and freedom around the world. May we #NeverForget.

ICYMI: Garry Schwartz, Mission Technologies’ chief operating officer, stressed the importance of empathetic leadership on Ben Fanning’s “Lead the Team” podcast. “Trying to understand the underlying emotions behind someone’s stress is key to being able to figure out how to get them moving in the direction you want them to move,” he said in the Aug. 12 episode. “It’s a volunteer sport, right? Everybody is here because they want to be.” Schwartz said he saw thoughtful leaders in action when he served in the United States Marine Corps.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed a state bill in July that will accelerate the development, testing and deployment of small modular nuclear reactors. The bill could lead to future work for HII. “The magic is in the words: small modular reactors,” said David Long, a vice president of operations at HII’s Mission Technologies division. “Knowing that we optimized modular construction on the large AP1000 plant work HII did for the Vogtle plants that are providing power to the grid today! Also knowing that our expertise at HII goes deep—we have been optimizing heavy steel modular construction at Newport News Shipbuilding for over 40 years.” While SB 454 specifically mentions Dominion Energy Virginia, HII leaders spoke in support of the legislation during the General Assembly session, and HII President and CEO Chris Kastner described it as “another important step toward expanding use of safe, reliable nuclear power to meet Virginia’s and the nation’s future energy needs.” For more information about SB 454, visit lis.virginia.gov.
