No matter the role, the work of an Ingalls shipbuilder is both complex and inspiring. For 85 years, the world-class shipbuilders at Ingalls Shipbuilding have designed, built and maintained amphibious ships, destroyers, and cutters for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard. Welcome to Inside Ingalls, a podcast that dives deep into the stories and perspectives of those who help shape our legacy.

In this episode, we sit down with Willie Fairley, director of Construction Services and Ship Completion, to talk about his journey at Ingalls. Willie grew up in a house where Ingalls provided for his family. As an adult, he initially chose a different path for himself but, ultimately, realized that he loved shipbuilding and the opportunities it opened up to him.
