Shipbuilder Avondale Industries, a subsidiary of defense contractor Litton Industries, helps keep the US Navy afloat. The company builds amphibious assault ships, cruisers, and destroyers for America's naval forces and also makes seagoing vessels for the energy, industrial, marine, and transportation industries, including oil tankers and icebreakers. In addition to manufacturing commercial and military vessels, Avondale repairs and modernizes them. LPD 17 Class amphibious assault ships, sealift support ships, and Alaskan crude double-hulled tankers together account for nearly 90% of sales.
