No matter the role, the work of an Ingalls shipbuilder is both complex and inspiring. In the latest episode of the Inside Ingalls podcast, we sit down with veteran Fatina Brave, director, Talent Acquisition & Workforce Development, to talk about the shared sense of mission that connects servicemembers and shipbuilders.
In honor of Veterans Day, Ingalls proudly recognizes the many military veterans who have continued their service to the nation by building the tools our military relies on. Your courage, commitment and sense of duty inspire us and serve as a reminder that every ship we build is more than steel. It is protection, purpose, and a promise to support our servicemembers.
Every tool, machine and piece of material in our shipyard is a critical part of building the U.S. Navy’s strongest warships. Protecting them isn’t just about preventing loss, it’s about protecting the mission and the warfighter who depends on our work.
