MEET OUR SHIPBUILDERS

The Submarine Programs at Northrop Grumman Newport News encompass more than 5,000 people in a range of disciplines, from expert craftsmen to accountants to planners to engineers and designers. The men and women who design and build Virginia class submarines come from across the country and represent dozens of educational institutions. They perform technical research and development, provide ongoing fleet support, and conduct short and long term advanced planning. They are among the most diverse workforce in the defense industry and some of them are fourth and fifth generation shipbuilders.
