Huntington Ingalls, Inc. (HII), headquartered in Newport News, VA is issued regular contracts to support all American submarine classes: SSN-688 Los Angeles, SSN-21 Seawolf, and SSN-774 Virginia Class fast attack boats, and SSBN/SSGN Ohio missile submarines. HII will support the fleet as needed by managing configuration, support, and engineering data; providing parts and engineering; and conducting modernization, trade, and industrial studies. They may also be called to help with special mission submersibles, submarine support facilities, and some Foreign Military Sales programs.
