Longleaf Pine Inspires NNS Team Engagement Activity

Published January 3, 2024

Newport News Shipbuilding’s Quality Business Operations team recently decided to plant a longleaf pine tree outside of its office in Bldg. 520 as an engagement activity. They chose the tree for its longstanding connection to shipbuilding in the Tidewater area. The team hopes to encourage other departments looking to improve their surroundings at NNS.
