HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding Honors 2025 Class of Master Shipbuilders
'Reaching 40 years of service is an extraordinary milestone and we are proud to honor these master shipbuilders for their decades of service, leadership and loyalty to Ingalls Shipbuilding,' said Brian Blanchette, president of Ingalls Shipbuilding. 'Their dedication has shaped not only our country's Navy fleet, but our workforce, our communities and our shipyard culture.'
A highlight of the ceremony was the debut of a tribute video featuring several master shipbuilders. The video captured their personal stories, career highlights, and a shared purpose in building ships that safeguard America's interests around the world.
The tribute video and a photo accompanying this release is available at: http://hii.com/news/hiis-ingalls-shipbuilding-honors-2025-class-of-master-shipbuilders/.
Master shipbuilder Larry Stevens, who began his career as a structural welder apprentice in 1985, reflected on the moment he welded the sponsor initials for the future USS Pittsburgh (LPD 31) keel ceremony while his daughter, who also works at Ingalls, watched from the audience. 'That moment meant a lot to me to have my daughter there,' he said. 'It's an honor to be a master shipbuilder, and I hope I've shed some light for the younger generation and that they will take the torch and run with it.'
Denise Quave, another master shipbuilder, who has spent her 40-year career in the planning yard, shared, 'Ingalls has been good to me, and I remind people that this team is raising families above and beyond the mission of the shipyard itself.'
That passion and pride in the Ingalls mission is echoed by shipbuilders like Tony Taylor, who said, 'Ingalls Shipbuilding is one of the best companies a person can work for. I'm proud of our legacy and heritage, and proud to help make sure our nation gets what it needs to do its job.'
Master shipbuilders represent the highest level of skill, dedication and leadership and Ingalls Shipbuilding extends its congratulations and gratitude to this year's master shipbuilders for their 40 years of exemplary service.

Next, on June 15, 2025, Sarepta announced that a second patient treated with Elevidys had died from acute liver failure and that it was suspending certain shipments of Elevidys and paused dosing in an ongoing clinical trial of the treatment.

Sausage company issues sweeping recall after consumers found foreign objects inside: 'The product is no longer available'
Sausage company issues sweeping recall after consumers found foreign objects inside: 'The product is no longer available' A sausage company recalled thousands of items because of plastic contamination. What's happening? Kayem Foods found out about the issue when it received three customer complaints, Food Safety News reported. The company contacted the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service about the white pieces of plastic. The chicken sausages were packaged in 11-ounce sizes and produced June 28. The product is All Natural Al Fresco Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage with Vermont-made syrup. Customers can determine if their purchases are part of the recall by checking the lot code (179), use/freeze by date (Oct. 1), and establishment number (P-7839). The first two identifiers are printed on the package's back label, while the last is printed inside the USDA mark of inspection, per FSN. No injuries were reported. The sausages were shipped from Chelsea, Massachusetts, to locations around the country. Buyers can return the food or throw it away but should not eat it. Why is this important? Plastic contamination is worrisome because it can harm human health. The ubiquity of the material presents problems for the environment and economies as well. Plastic is made from petroleum, a dirty fuel that contributes most of the heat-trapping pollution that is causing the rapid warming of the planet. It also creates mass amounts of waste since, contrary to popular belief, it is not easily recyclable. This means countries lose untold sums from trash that reaches the ocean. The University of Michigan said marine waste can reduce real estate prices by 25%. And it causes up to $2.5 trillion in annual global economic damage, according to the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators, impacting tourism, fishing, and other industries. "FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers," FSN stated. "When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at What's being done about food contamination? While microplastics are commonly found in food, water, air, and soil, larger pieces of plastic pollutants are less common. They are usually found by USDA or company inspection, though that was not the case here, and government spending cuts could make that more common. Using alternatives to plastic in food production and packaging would reduce this risk. You can help by advocating for policy reform and using less plastic. Call your representatives and bring your own reusable items when you're on the go: a metal water bottle, canvas grocery bags, and stainless steel or glass food containers.
