16 7월 2024 - 5:30AM
Shipbuilder and all-domain technologies provider HII (NYSE: HII)
hosted Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, D-Va.; Rep. Rob Wittman,
R-Va.; and a delegation of Australian parliamentarians at its
Newport News Shipbuilding division Friday.
The visit was held in support of the trilateral Australia,
United Kingdom and United States (AUKUS) partnership. HII continues
to bolster AUKUS, which set in motion tasking across all three
countries to determine the optimal pathway to provide Australia
with conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines.
The Australian delegation included Milton Dick, speaker of the
Australian House of Representatives; Australian House of
Representatives members David Littleproud, Sharon Claydon, Joanne
Ryan and Bert van Manen; as well as officials from the Parliament
of Australia and the Embassy of Australia.
During the visit, the delegation engaged with senior leadership
about the company’s nuclear-powered submarine sustainment
expertise, supply chain management experience and longstanding
industry-leading workforce development efforts.

“We are honored the delegation chose to invest time with us
during their trip to the United States, and thank Congressmen Scott
and Wittman for their continued support,” NNS President Jennifer
Boykin said. “We value every opportunity to demonstrate how HII is
working in earnest to leverage our experience and stewardship of
complex platforms and technologies in support of the critical AUKUS
agreement.”
“I am proud to represent thousands of the nation's best
shipbuilders and welcome the Australian delegation to Hampton Roads
where we build nuclear-powered submarines,” Scott said. “We welcome
the opportunity to support the AUKUS agreement and strengthen the
bonds with our Australian allies.”
“The AUKUS agreement is integral to deterring China’s growing
military aggression in the Indo-Pacific, and Virginia’s robust
submarine industrial base plays an outsized role in upholding our
nation’s commitment to this trilateral security pact,” Wittman
said. “As vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, I
was proud to bring this delegation of Australian Parliamentarians
to Newport News and show them the cutting-edge platforms and
technology used to build Virginia-class submarines here in the
Commonwealth.”
“I’m proud to lead a delegation of cross-party representatives
from the Australian Parliament to demonstrate enduring bipartisan
support for the AUKUS partnership,” Dick said. “It was great to
join Congressmen Wittman and Scott for this visit to HII. The tour
was an excellent opportunity to deepen our understanding of the
work behind nuclear powered submarine construction, workforce and
supply chain development as Australia develops our nuclear powered
submarine enterprise.”
NNS is one of only two shipyards capable of designing and
building nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy. HII is the
founding member of the AUKUS Workforce Alliance (AWA), a dedicated
partnership committed to preparing a skilled workforce in support
of all steps of Australia’s optimal pathway to sovereign
nuclear-powered submarines.
