The shipyard visit is the first since Guertin was sworn in to

shipyard’s major programs, recent investments in new facilities and
advancements with workforce development and digital technologies to
improve operational efficiency.
“We were honored to welcome Secretary Guertin to the shipyard in
his new role,” NNS President Jennifer Boykin said. “Our
shipbuilders understand the critical work we do supplying the
nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines our nation needs.
As we approach our 138th anniversary this weekend, these visits
allow us to demonstrate our innovations, the pride our shipbuilders
have, and our continued commitment to quality.”

complex overhaul (RCOH) work underway on Nimitz-class aircraft
carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). Additionally, he toured
