Engineers in Shipbuilding and Submarine Building

Intelligent Luxury became interested in submarines that resemble dark-skinned whales when submerging themselves in the ocean. Praying to ride on a commercial submarine with a window or in a real submarine for a few hours; especially stand on top, while it sails through the ocean! Ms. Vannia Willis, an 18-year engineering veteran at Newport News Shipbuilding's Huntington Ingalls Industries. Huntington Ingalls Industries builds submarines; classified as ships is one of the diverse staff at Huntington Ingalls Industries.  Mr. Mike Petters is the CEO of Huntington Ingalls Industries.  Mr. Thomas Fargo is the Chairman of the Board.

Intelligent Luxury thinks submarines could be fitted with helicopter propellers to be able to fly to inland bodies of water. What do engineers think.  Tweet me at @intelliluxury

 Intelligent Luxury will bring you more from the designers of ships from the U.S. Navy in the future.  Most submarines dive 800 or more feet into the ocean and have a 100 or more crew members. The    fleet protects America.  Who is designing the next submarine for the public to see underwater while in the submarine?

Proteus is an unmanned submarine. "Proteus simulated traveling 2,412 nautical miles and ran submerged for 720 hours while executing a full range of simulated mission behaviors," stated Huntington Ingalls Industry website. 

Proteus successfully completed a 30-day simulated unmanned mission earlier this month. The endurance testing was performed in a test tank at Undersea Solution Group’s Panama City, Florida, facility to demonstrate the vehicle’s reliability and ability to perform long-duration missions contemplated for the U.S. Navy’s future unmanned undersea vehicles.

 "The 377-feet long submarines are capable of submerged speeds of more than 25 knots and can stay submerged for up to three months at a time."

"The Los Angeles-class is the largest class of submarines with 62 ships." - Source: Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding
