Milwaukee Valve celebrates first cut of steel for Aircraft Carrier Doris Miller
Milwaukee Valve celebrated the ceremonial first cut of steel for the newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Doris Miller (CVN 81). The ceremonial cut took place at Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia, the location of the ship’s construction, but parts of the ship are being manufactured at the Milwaukee Valve bronze foundry and manufacturing facility in Prairie Du Sac, Wisconsin.
Milwaukee Valve will be providing bronze gate valves, globe valves, check valves and scupper valves, double offset and triple offset butterfly valves and a variety of ball valves to the construction of the Doris Miller.
