Check out this week’s shipbuilder spotlight! After serving six years in the Marine Corps, Olivia Bosarge was inspired by her father’s career in the shipyard and enrolled in the Ingalls Apprentice School. After graduating as journeyman, she worked her way up to a test foreman in the Pipe department. Even in her role as a foreman, she’s constantly learning different things about her crew and offering tips to help them perfect their craft. Thank you for your leadership, Olivia!

In honor of #NationalInternDay, we would like to spotlight the great work recently accomplished by the Information Technology interns. The IT department interns supported Production Control during inventory of the pipe shop storeroom.

With the interns' support, inventory was completed in an efficient and timely manner, allowing PC to focus on other critical tasks in the shipyard. Thank you to all our interns at Ingalls for making a difference!
