Navy Supports Louisiana’s Avondale Shipyard

According to a report from www.Nola.com, the Navy announced a series of initiatives on Sept. 17 aimed at extending work at Avondale Shipyard even after Northrop Grumman closes its operations there in 2013. Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition said the Navy will work with Northrop Grumman and the state in preserving the current Avondale facilities and in preserving plans to upgrade these facilities should a future owner compete for and win future Navy work.
