That opens the door to large-scale servicing of United States military ships there for the first time in almost 20 years. In a news release announcing the deal, Huntington Ingalls said the companies “will work together in providing maintenance, repair and logistics services to the U.S. Navy and other customers in the Western Pacific region.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HHIC Phil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
