PASCAGOULA, Miss. - HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division hosted U.S. Rep. Mike Ezell (R-Miss.) on Feb. 16 for his first official visit to the shipyard as representative of the 4th Congressional District. Ezell and Ingalls leadership toured the shipyard, including the amphibious transport dock ship Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29). Ezell got an up-close view of the "quality work that our shipbuilders do every day for our Navy and Coast Guard partners,” Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson said. "Touring the shipyard brings perspective to the scope, scale and significance of what we consider a privilege to do for our country every day.” Ezell is a lifelong resident of Jackson County, where the shipyard is located. Ingalls has more than 11,000 employees and is the largest manufacturing employer in Mississippi and a major contributor to the economic growth of Alabama. (HII 02/16/23)
