The Big Picture: Doing what’s right, even when no one is watching, is how Ingalls shipbuilders protect the mission and support each other.  

  • On-the-Spot Ethics recognizes those quiet moments of integrity that keep our shipyard strong and ready 

What is On-the-Spot Ethics? A program that recognizes shipbuilders who act with honesty and respect every day 

  • Awards given year-round to those who lead by example without seeking credit 

  • Nominations accepted through the Ethics & Compliance App or Form C-941 (found in command media) 

Why It Matters: Ethics isn’t just following rules. It’s about trust between shipbuilders, leadership and the warfighters counting on our work.  

  • Every time someone chooses integrity, it makes the team and mission stronger 

How To Get Involved: 

  • Look for shipbuilders who speak up and do the right thing 

  • Nominate them so they can be recognized 

    • Recipients will receive an Ethical Excellence Award and certificate 

  • Share their stories to inspire others to follow their lead
