NNS to Celebrate 130th Anniversary On Thursday, Jan. 28, Newport News Shipbuilding will celebrate its 130th anniversary. Throughout 2016, the Communications Division will publish historical material, articles, photographs, videos and fun facts to celebrate the milestone. A new webpage dedicated to the 130th anniversary will also contain congratulatory messages from local and state representatives, as well as businesses and Navy leaders and popular figures to highlight the shipyard’s contribution to the Hampton Roads community, Virginia, and the United States.
