Consultation & Support
Support at Every Stage
Building and maintaining complex ships can only happen because the process is supported at every stage by a talented team of professionals providing essential services to facilitate operations.
Our support services function similar to those of a small town, from Human Resources to Training, Security to Safety, Finance to Facilities, Medical to Fire Department, and many more key functions.
Planning Experts
Our Programs team serves as an important liaison with the Navy customer. Planning experts guide the step-by-step construction process once engineering and design are complete.
Our Supply Chain
Building Strong Partnerships
Members of the Supply Chain organization build relationships with hundreds of sub-contractors and vendors who supply material and equipment for our ships, and they make sure those components are available when needed to support construction.
