HII Constructs Virginia-class Submarine Arkansas (SSN 800)
Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) plays a pivotal role in advancing U.S. national security, particularly through the construction of the Virginia-class submarine Arkansas (SSN 800). HII's Newport News Shipbuilding division recently achieved a significant milestone by making Arkansas "pressure hull complete," representing a watertight unit's assembly.
In this endeavor, MELTRIC® plugs and receptacles were utilized as part of the manufacturing process.
