For more than 85 years, Ingalls shipbuilders have served as the backbone of our nation’s defense. Every day, ships built by Ingalls shipbuilders conduct different missions and operations – projecting power, maintaining peace and safeguarding seas across the globe. We remain committed to this important work, knowing that THEIR mission is OUR purpose.
Through our Ingalls Ships in Action series, we highlight one of these Ingalls-built ships each week, utilizing photos and information provided by the U.S. Navy.
The amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), which was built at Ingalls, arrived in the Port of Miami, Florida, on May 5 for Fleet Week. Fleet Weeks are a tradition of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, where major U.S. cities host Marines, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen for one week of community-wide events.
Fleet Week Miami, in its first year, is an opportunity for residents and visitors to meet with service members, foster community relationships, and view the latest capabilities of today’s maritime services.
THEIR mission is OUR purpose.
