LEAD THE WAY

We also led the way by:

• Welcoming General Dynamics Electric Boat Quality Ambassador Chris Yaris to NNS to share his experience during the 2009 USS Hartford (SSN 768) collision, reminding shipbuilders of the importance of quality and the direct impact NNS has on sailors’ safety.

• Continuing to build our Team Submarine Program Management University partnership with our fellow shipbuilders at General Dynamics Electric Boat. The program launched in 2021 as a means to bring select NNS and Electric Boat shipbuilders together with Navy and supplier representatives to grow their design and construction knowledge, and improve leadership skills and business acumen. In 2022, NNS hosted two cohorts.

• Hosting special events that celebrate our workforce and their vital role in national security. These events included the Enterprise (CVN 80) and Arkansas (SSN 800) keel layings, and a prescreening of the blockbuster movie “Top Gun: Maverick.”

• Displaying “The Mission Starts With Us” banners across the shipyard to acknowledge Independence Day and remind shipbuilders of the importance of their patriotic work.
