SECNAV's first-hand view at Ingalls

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro was at Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., this week to tour facilities, LPD-29 (the future USS Richard M. McCool) and to get a first-hand taste for the company and Ingalls' role in defense of America and providing economic benefit to the Gulf Coast. SECNAV is not a stranger to Ingalls. He previously served in the Navy and assigned  to Pascagoula during his time in service. Mississippi's two U.S. Senators Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith, and U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo tagged along with SECNAV.
