On the bank of the Delaware River in South Philadelphia, a historic aircraft manufacturing building holds the future for Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) testing, supporting the newest ship class in the Navy; the Constellation Class Guided Missile Frigate. Nestled at the old Philadelphia Navy Yard, the facility built in 1917, stands as history incarnate, meeting with the future to provide Sailors a means of assurance that their equipment will operate in all demanding circumstances at sea and fit for all the trials and tribulations of combat.
