HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding Honors 2025 Class of Master Shipbuilders
PASCAGOULA, Miss., June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HIl's (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division honored the 2025 class of master shipbuilders, an elite group of employees who have dedicated 40 years of continuous service to the company, during a special ceremony held at the shipyard June 12. Each of these shipbuilders have committed four decades to building the nation's most advanced naval ships, supporting national security, and mentoring the next generation of 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: 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.

'Little House on the Prairie' reboot adds Jocko Sims as the Ingalls' real-life doctor
The cast of Netflix's Little House on the Prairie reboot continues to grow, and Jocko Sims just joined as a character whom fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's book series will remember. The New Amsterdam star will play Dr. George Tann, described by Netflix as "a generous and kind-hearted man with a charming bedside manner that makes him a connector within the community." Sims' character is based on the real-life Dr. Tann, who Wilder wrote about in her 1935 autobiographical novel Little House on the Prairie. According to the official LHOP website, Dr. Tann treated the Ingalls family when they all were stricken with malaria in Kansas. In addition to Sims, Netflix announced five more cast members: Warren Christie as John Edwards, a Civil War veteran from Tennessee; Meegwun Fairbrother as Mitchell, a farmer with "the most impressive homestead in the county"; Alyssa Wapanatǎhk as White Sun, Mitchell's wife; Wren Zhawenim Gotts as Good Eagle, daughter of Mitchell and White Sun; and Xander Cole as Little Puma, White Sun's younger brother, who "loves his big sister but also loves getting under her skin." Described by the streamer as "part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West," Little House on the Prairie will follow the Ingalls family and the Osage tribe members they encounter while living in Kansas. Earlier this month, Netflix revealed that Alice Halsey (Lessons in Chemistry) will play Laura Ingalls in the reboot, alongside Luke Bracey (Little Fires Everywhere) as Charles, Crosby Fitzgerald (Palm Royale) as Caroline, and Skywalker Hughes (I, Object) as Mary. While former Fox News host Megyn Kelly — who vowed to "destroy" the reboot if it was too "woke" — may not be pleased by the diverse cast, TV's original Half-Pint, Melissa Gilbert, is all for the new interpretation of Wilders' work. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in February about Netflix's reboot, Gilbert suggested that the series would be able "to do things that we didn't get to do necessarily so easily in the '70s," especially when it comes to casting. "They can make an actual point of hiring Native American actors to play the Native Americans, which we didn't do. We were certainly inclusive and open to it, but it wasn't a prerequisite," Gilbert said. "And now they can look at it with a new lens and say, 'This part should be played by Native American actors.' Bring in Dr. Tann, the actual Black doctor who treated the Ingalls family. Bring all of these people in and tell the story." Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, Vampire Diaries) will serve as showrunner for Little House on the Prairie, which does not yet have a release date. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Netflix reveals ‘Little House on the Prairie' revival cast
Netflix has cast a new Ingalls family for its upcoming ' Little House on the Prairie ' revival. 'Lessons in Chemistry' up-and-comer Alice Halsey has taken the lead role of Laura Ingalls, who also serves as a narrator, in the new project. The 10-year-old actor shared her excitement about the casting on Instagram last week, noting that she loves 'all of the Little House books' in Laura Ingalls Wilder's semi-autobiographical book series. Luke Bracey ('Holidate') and Crosby Fitzgerald ('Palm Royale') have been cast as parents Charles and Caroline Ingalls in the nostalgia-inducing adaptation, while Skywalker Hughes ('Joe Pickett') is set to play their eldest daughter, Mary. In addition to starring opposite Emma Roberts in the 2020 holiday rom-com, Bracey has been involved in the reboot of 'Point Break' (2015), the musical biopic 'Elvis' (2022) and the psychological thriller 'Mercy Road' (2023). Meanwhile, Fitzgerald has been recognized for her appearances on ABC sitcom 'Abbott Elementary'(2021-present) and the PBS biographical drama 'The First Lady' (2022). Hughes is best known for her recurring role on the Western crime series 'Joe Pickett' (2021-23) and the drama 'Ordinary Angels' (2024), which also starred Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson. The highly anticipated adaptation of the popular TV series was first announced by Netflix in January. Wilder's original book series was set primarily in the 1870s-90s, and the original show (1974-83) follows the Ingalls family as they travel from Wisconsin to Kansas to settle on the prairie. The streaming platform's new adaptation is helmed by showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine ('The Boys,' 'Vampire Diaries'). According to its tagline, the show will be 'part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West.' It's unclear if any of the original show's cast is set to make appearances in the upcoming project. Melissa Gilbert, who originated the role of Laura Ingalls, told People Magazine in February that it's 'a conversation to be had another day, or maybe not. 'My knee-jerk reaction is that I think they should create their own whole universe,' she continued, 'and maybe not try and cross things over too much or cross the streams as it were.'
