I think this should stay at Ingalls - otherwise you have the ridiculous situation of WWII ships being built by Northrop. Look at the links-to, Northrop Grumman is the oddball not the usual. Stan 06:53, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- More like there needs to be three all-new articles to replace this one. I'll do it next week. -Joseph 13:11, 2004 Jun 26 (UTC)

- I was about to make the change, but I'll throw it up here first. Several pages reference Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation. My thought was to redirect those to Ingalls Shipbuilding, but decided to wait pending your reorganization of the topic. There are only five articles pointing to Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation, so it would be fairly easy to just go in and make the correction if Ingalls Shipbuilding is the appropriate name.

- Okay, I made the changes to the five pages that linked to Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation. They all link to Ingalls Shipbuilding now. Ocon 19:05, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Just to explain the theory, since the addition of "company"/"corporation"/"Inc." etc is often confusing (especially for subsidiaries), results in article dups, may not be accurate over the organization's entire life, I'll drop it if it's not needed to disambiguate. It almost always reads better in running text too. Stan 22:50, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Takeover
Seems to me that ships that were begun under an independent Ingalls should be attributed to them, that ships begun under Litton should be attributed to "Litton Ingalls," and anything since the NG buyout should be to NGSS. Anyone in disagreement? Perhaps I should start compiling a list of Ingalls/Litton/NGSS ships and sort them out in this manner. -Joseph 03:04, 2004 Aug 20 (UTC)
