The shipyard Ingalls of Pascagoula is an important shipbuilding site, located in Pascagoula, in the state of Mississippi (United States). Put into service in 1938, this shipyard was operated by the company Ingalls Shipbuilding, then, since 1961, by the Litton Industries group, bought by Northrop Grumman in 2001.

The region is indeed rich in pine forests, which provide wood, turpentine, tar, pitch and resin. In 1718, a first ship for the French royal navy was thus put in the water in Pascagoula.

The land, located near the mouth of the Pascagoula river, is connected to the Gulf of Mexico by a fairly deep channel. The site benefited from rail access and land was available for possible extensions. In addition, the available workforce was abundant in the region. The company Ingalls Shipbuilding was created in November 1938 and the construction of ships began in 1939. From the start, this shipyard demonstrated innovation spirit by building the first fully united hull ship, the SS Exchequer , a cargo launched the October 16, 1940 . Until then, in fact, the steel plates of the ship’s shells overlapped to be riveted. This new technique revolutionized shipbuilding in the world. Three other cargo cargo was built before the United States’s war in the war. As the war approaches, the Ingalls site abandoned the construction of commercial ships and began to build, at an accelerated pace, several types of ships for defense needs. Young workers called to the army were often replaced on the site by women. During the Second World War, the shipyard had its Rosie The Riveter, symbol of workers in American shipyards; Appointed Vera Anderson, she moved to a national welding championship. Ingalls employed up to 12,000 workers during the war.

Many ships delivered during the war returned to Pascagoula, where they were converted into commercial ships. High-sea vessels of various types were also built in Pascagoula: truquiers, container carriers, chemicals, oil tankers, ships for sea drilling, line ships for passenger transport and even the last two luxury cruise ships built in the United States, the SS Brazil and the SS Argentina . Ingalls also diversified its activities, by embarking on the construction of offshore drilling platforms, railway wagons, including hopper wagons. An attempt to build diesel locomotives ended with a failure and a single copy was marketed. But the company tried to obtain again military contracts. In the 1950s, Ingalls built very specialized ships for the US Navy. First of all thirteen landing vessels. In 1959, Ingalls launched two destroyers of a new type, the USS Morton And USS Parsons . After changing his installations, Ingalls won a contract in 1957 for the construction of nuclear propulsion attack submarines. After the launch, in 1960, of the USS Blueback , the last conventional propulsion submarine, Ingalls launched 12 nuclear propulsion submarines in the 1960s and early 1970s, and revised nine others.

In December 1961, Ingalls Shipbuilding was bought by the Californian group Litton Industries. In 1968, the shipyard was enlarged by the purchase of land on the other bank of the Pascagoula river. A modular boats construction system was developed there. Destroyers of the Sprue -under -construction class in Pascagoula in 1975. Since the mid-1970s, Ingalls has built many surface ships and submarines for the US Navy, in particular: Two of the three corvettes classified Sa’ar V built for Israel in the early 1990s. The workforce of the site culminated in 1977 with 25,000 employees. In 1992, it fell to 16,000, in 1994 at 14,000 and 1997 at 9,500. In 2001, the firm Northrop Grumman Corporation bought Litton Industries, owner of the Ingalls shipyard as well as the Avondale site, in Louisiana. The August 29, 2005 , the Ingalls site was damaged by Hurricane Katrina. The ships under construction were not very affected, but the destruction of many buildings, most vehicles and large porticoes interrupted work for some time. The Ingalls shipyard is the first private employer in the Mississippi state with 10,000 employees. The site is particularly well placed for access to the Gulf of Mexico by a deep water channel of 19 km de long, 120 m wide and 13 m depth. It is served by highway (Interstate 10) and railway track. Finally, it was close to one of the most modern bases in the US Navy for surface combat ships, the Naval Station Pascagoula, closed in November 2006. The 31 mars 2011 , Northrop Grumman separated from his shipyards, which were grouped in a new company, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc.
