He will succeed George Jones, who is set to retire on April 1 after 37 years of career with HII, the military shipbuilder said Thursday.
In his new role, Dorsey will be responsible for managing overall manufacturing operations, driving production and process improvement strategies and fostering union partnerships at Ingalls Shipbuilding.
