When Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) formed in 2011, we revived the historical names of Newport News Shipbuilding and Ingalls Shipbuilding and launched the “new” 125-year-old company. Today, with this Report to the Community, we highlight our continued commitment to the communities where we work and reside. And importantly, we recognize and applaud the volunteering efforts of our employees in their respective communities that are at the very foundation of who we are as a company.

In addition to the dedicated employees at our corporate office in Newport News, Va., and our divisions headquartered in Newport News and Pascagoula, Miss., we are proud to employ generous and good-hearted men and women in locations as diverse as Aiken, S.C.; Avondale, La.; Gulfport, Miss.; San Diego, Calif.; Washington, D.C.; Virginia Beach, Va.; and Yokosuka, Japan. With 38,000 employees, we recognize that our footprint is important in all of these places.

Regardless of what they do and where they do it, HII employees have at least one thing in common: how they do it. HII employees do the hard stuff right, and that includes giving back to the communities where they live and work. Whether it’s giving a portion of each paycheck to a United Way organization, donating blood to the American Red Cross, helping to build houses for Habitat for Humanity or bringing canned goods to work during company-sponsored food drives, HII employees always answer the call.

Wherever you’re reading this, there is a school, church, hospital, civic group or other organization that has benefitted from the efforts of HII employees and their time, talent and generosity. And those employees would probably tell you they are as thankful for the opportunity to serve as are the people and organizations who receive their help.

It’s gratifying to work with people like that, and I’m proud to recognize them in this Community Report. Please join me in offering them a well-deserved “thank you” for their efforts.

Community service is our commitment—as a corporation and as individual employees—and we’re focused on demonstrating it, each and every day.

EDUCATION

3 | 2011 Report to the Community

Supporting education — especially in the areas of science,

technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) — is the

foundation of HII’s corporate citizenship. Employees support

a wide range of educational organizations and activities, from

the Pascagoula School District’s “Super Saturday” event to

Career Pathways in Newport News; from the FIRST and

BEST robotics competitions along the Gulf Coast to the

Taking Action To Overcome Obstacles (TATOO) tutoring

program on the Virginia Peninsula. The biggest educational

event every year is the “School Tools” drive. In 2011,

employees donated more than 26,000 items for schools

in Virginia and Mississippi. “The school supplies … make

it possible for many children to enter school ready to learn,”

said Theora Rankins, community resource coordinator,

Newport News Department of Human Services. “Without

Newport News Shipbuilding’s support, many of the children

we serve would not have the tools they need to succeed.”

UNITED WAY

HII’s employees donated more than $2.9 million to United

Way organizations in Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana.

“Our community benefits greatly from the generous support

provided by Newport News Shipbuilding and its employees,”

said Ty Joubert, president of United Way of the Virginia

Peninsula. “At a time when needs are greater than ever, it

is comforting to know that the Peninsula has backing from

our region’s largest employer. We congratulate the shipyard

employees for yet another job well done.”

Carolyn Moore, chief professional officer at the United Way

for Jackson and George Counties, had a similar message in

Mississippi: “On behalf of United Way, I would like to thank

all Ingalls employees for another successful campaign. Your

generous donations will help improve the lives of thousands

in our community who need it most.”

ENVIRONMENT

5 | 2011 Report to the Community

HII employees are committed to preserving the

environment. At Newport News Shipbuilding,

more than 90 shipbuilders participated in the

2011 Earth Day activities, collecting 1,100 pounds

of trash and debris and planting 10 new trees at

Christopher Newport Park. In related activities,

the Apprentice School Jaycees participate in the

“Adopt-A-Spot” program, cleaning up debris on

Huntington Avenue between 50th Street and 60th

Street in Newport News year-round. At Ingalls

Shipbuilding, employees removed more than

2,200 pounds of trash as part of Louisiana Beach

Sweep in September and the Mississippi Coastal

Cleanup in October. Ingalls volunteers were also

involved in planning the new National Audubon

Center in Jackson County, Miss. “We are grateful

to our shipbuilders who … make a difference

here along the Coast,” said David Glynn, Ingalls’

director, Environmental, Health and Safety. “Once

again, the people of this company have proven

themselves to be good environmental stewards.”

Newport News Shipbuilding’s Security Dept. and Fire Dept. continued their tradition of donating food and gifts to the Salvation Army’s Adopt-A-Family program in December. Pictured with Santa Claus and Salvation Army representatives Candice Sparks (fourth from left) and Stephanie Romett (third from right) are employees (left to right) Christopher Appel, Kenneth Ruff, Yvonne Weiss, Pam Wilkerson and James Allen.

HOLIDAY DRIVES

The saying, “It’s better to give than to receive,”

certainly holds true at HII, where numerous

departments and volunteer organizations from

across the corporation host “Adopt A Family,”

“Angel Tree” and “Toys For Tots” activities every

November and December. The signature events,

though, are the annual food drives hosted by

Ingalls Shipbuilding and Newport News

Shipbuilding. In 2011, Newport News employees

donated more than 28,000 pounds of non-

perishable food and more than $13,500 in cash

donations to the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank.

Ingalls’ beneficiaries included Our Daily Bread

in Pascagoula, the Bay Area Food Bank and

the Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New

Orleans. Employees in HII’s corporate office also

had a giving spirit, donating Christmas gifts,

holiday meals and cash to two needy families in

December. “We witnessed the smiles, sighs of

relief and even some tears shed by those assisted

by the Holiday Program, which demonstrates how

appreciated your support was this holiday season,”

said Eileen Bunn, volunteer services coordinator,

Newport News Department of Human Services.

One of the only things better than raising money

for a good cause is getting fit and having fun

while doing it. Thousands of HII employees

are energetic and enthusiastic volunteers,

hosting and supporting dozens of runs, walks

and relays, golf tournaments, bowling events,

and other health-related activities. Activities in

2011 even included a “Zumbathon!” Events of

note at Newport News Shipbuilding included

a shipyard-sponsored “5K Fun Run/Walk” in

November and a Cardboard Boat Regatta hosted

by the Apprentice School’s student chapter of

the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME),

with all proceeds benefitting Shriners Hospitals

for Children and the Khedive Shrine Patient

Transportation Fund. In Mississippi, more than

200 Ingalls shipbuilders volunteered at the

statewide Special Olympics event in Biloxi.

“If you ever get involved with Special Olympics,

you want to do it every year,” said Robin

Poppenhouse, an Ingalls employee who serves

on the board to organize the Olympic Village.

“These athletes are the most precious people,

and they will put a smile on your face that will

last a lifetime.”

If you ever get involved with Special

Olympics, you want to do it every year.”

Right: AMSEC employees Sarah Eulitt and Dennis Plank take a break while

HII’s divisions continued their long partnerships

with Habitat for Humanity in 2011, proving yet

again that shipbuilders can build houses just

like they build ships — with a focus on safety,

quality, cost and schedule. In Mississippi, Ingalls

shipbuilders partnered with Navigator Credit

Union to help rebuild houses in Smithville that

were damaged by tornados. In April, Newport

News Shipbuilding dedicated the ninth home it

built with Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and

Greater Williamsburg, and in November, it broke

ground on the 10th. “Our amazing partnership

… has greatly helped us increase the number of

families served in our community,” said Habitat

representative Alexis N. Swann. “We are so

grateful for Huntington Ingalls Industries’ support

of our efforts to provide safe, decent, affordable

homes in partnership with families in need.”
