===Post-war ships===
In the post-war years NNS built the passenger liner {{SS|United States}}, which set a [[Blue Riband|transatlantic speed record]] that still stands today. In 1954 NNS, [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation|Westinghouse]] and the US Navy developed and built a prototype [[nuclear reactor]] for a carrier propulsion system. NNS designed {{USS|Enterprise|CVN-65|6}} in 1960. In 1959 NNS launched its first nuclear-powered [[submarine]], {{USS|Robert E. Lee|SSBN-601|6}}.{{citation_needed|date=August 2019}}

In the 1970s, NNS launched two of the largest [[Tanker (ship)|tankers]] ever built in the western hemisphere and also constructed three [[liquefied natural gas carrier]]s – at over 390,000 deadweight tons, the largest ever built in the United States. NNS and [[Westinghouse Electric Company]] jointly formed [[Offshore Power Systems]] to build floating nuclear power plants for [[Public Service Electric and Gas Company]].

In the 1980s, NNS produced a variety of Navy products, including {{sclass|Nimitz|aircraft carrier|0}} nuclear aircraft carriers and {{sclass|Los Angeles|submarine|0}} nuclear attack submarines. Since 1999 the shipyard has only produced warships for the Navy.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ships Built By Newport News Shipbuilding |url=http://nns.huntingtoningalls.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Ships_built_by_NNS.pdf |publisher=Huntington-Ingalls |access-date=July 16, 2018 |archive-date=February 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207041048/http://nns.huntingtoningalls.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Ships_built_by_NNS.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
