Ingalls Shipbuilding is a shipyard at Pascagoula, Mississippi, founded in 1938 by Robert Ingersoll Ingalls Sr. of Birmingham, Alabama, on the east bank of the Pascagoula River, and now part of Huntington Ingalls Industries. It began by building commercial ships, among them USS George Clymer, and from the 1950s it bid on Navy work, winning a contract in 1957 for 12 nuclear-powered attack submarines. Litton Industries bought the yard in 1961 and Northrop Grumman acquired Litton in 2001. Northrop Grumman spun its shipbuilding business off as Huntington Ingalls Industries on 31 March 2011. The yard builds ships for the United States Navy and the Coast Guard, including destroyers, amphibious transport docks and National Security Cutters, and as of 2023 it is the largest private employer in Mississippi.
