“Take a step back to see what we actually build. These submarines and aircraft carriers go out to sea and defend our nation. Listen to the older shipbuilders, and get as much knowledge as you can. Some of these guys have been here 40 years. They come from a different shipyard, and they’re a book full of knowledge. Make sure you absorb that as best you can to be as successful as possible in the long run.”

The series features shipbuilders’ photos and their brief statements. If you or another shipbuilder you know is interested in being highlighted, email [email protected]. ​
