Every day and in every corner of our shipyard, Newport News shipbuilders work to deliver the nuclear-powered U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and submarines that defend our freedom. To help showcase these shipbuilders and the work they do, we’re reviving our Hot Shots photo series. In celebration of Hot Shots’ return, this edition features iconic photos from years past.

#ThrowbackThursday to March 2000 when Newport News shipbuilders lifted the lower bow into place on USS Ronald Reagan (#CVN76). Thank you to the team that achieved this milestone 25 years ago. Did you know? CVN 76 was the first U.S. Navy aircraft carrier to have this type of bulbous bow.

It was a great weekend for Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School athletes! The men’s basketball team defeated Villa Maria College Friday night in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) title game. This is the team’s second national championship in a row and the fourth in program history. On Saturday, The Apprentice School wrestling team took the national runner up position at the NCWA national championships. Please join us in congratulating these shipbuilders. We're grateful for their dedication and for representing NNS and The Apprentice School so well. #GoBuilders 📸: Santino Tarquino/USCAA
