HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division and the U.S. Navy’s Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair Gulf Coast (SUPSHIP GC) have broken ground on a customer support complex in Pascagoula. The 101,000-square-foot facility will cost $50 million.
The project is funded through a partnership between the Navy and Ingalls Shipbuilding. It will primarily house SUPSHIP GC personnel currently based in Pascagoula. The office administers Navy shipbuilding contracts across Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.
SUPSHIP GC has more than 600 military and civilian personnel responsible for engineering, quality assurance, contract management and financial oversight during ship construction and delivery.
