Northrop Grumman Corporation hosted a visit from Chelsea Cooley, Miss USA, who
toured construction of the Virginia-class submarine North Carolina (SSN 777), named
after her home state, at the company's Newport News shipyard. Cooley is the first
woman from North Carolina to be named Miss USA in 54 years. During her visit to
the shipyard, she also went aboard the submarine Texas (SSN 775) and met with
sailors from the North Carolina's pre-commissioning unit and shipbuilders and sub-
marine veterans from the state of North Carolina.
Shipbuilders Stanley Britt and Deborah Jordan were among the employees who met
Miss USA Chelsea Cooley during her visit to Northrop Grumman Newport News. Both
Britt and Jordan are from North Carolina and work in the sector's submarine program.
