NORFOLK, Va. — With the help of the nation's largest shipbuilding provider, Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) opened a campus in Norfolk on Monday morning.
HII, which operates Newport News Shipbuilding, said the new Fairwinds Landing campus opened at Lambert's Point at 10:30 a.m. Leaders and shipbuilders said the opening marks continued growth toward more effective and efficient shipbuilding.
Shipbuilders have spent the last few months constructing steel panels that will eventually make up units of the Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier Enterprise that is currently under construction.
