At HII, our mission is to serve those who protect our freedom. As we celebrate America this #IndependenceDay, we also celebrate our employees for continuing to deliver on our promise of delivering the world’s most powerful ships and all-domain solutions that safeguard our nation and guarantee liberty for all.
