Master shipbuilder James Kelly, who began his career as a boilermaker, shared his reflections on reaching this milestone saying, “I appreciate Ingalls giving me the opportunity to work for them and provide me with an honest living for the past 40 years. Being a master shipbuilder means I took the time to learn a lot and now I get to pass down my knowledge to the next generation of shipbuilders.”

Alice Stringfield, another distinguished master shipbuilder, spoke about encouraging individuals in the community to pursue a career at Ingalls saying, “I tell a lot of people, just apply and don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t a great place to work, because it is!”

Stringfield also commented on her life as a shipbuilder saying, “You can come here and live a great life, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Ingalls Shipbuilding extends its congratulations and gratitude to this year’s Master Shipbuilders for their 40 years of exemplary service.
