Nearly 50 NNSY welders took to the welding booths in the shop as part of the Battle of the Welders Competition, each completing a weld from three different categories: gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). After a week-long competition, the winners were decided and received medals for their accomplishments. In addition, they will be representing America's Shipyard in a future Battle of the Welders: Shipyard Edition between the four public shipyards.
