So, I think that will play out. ‘23 is opposite on ‘22 where we started off really hot and heavy in the first couple of quarters. But, this isn’t a surprise for us that Q4 was going to be a big quarter for us. And, I think we’re in the lane right now to kind of we’re reaffirming our guidance there on profitability for shipbuilding between [indiscernible].
George Shapiro: Okay. Thank you very much.
Christopher D. Kastner: Thanks, George.
Operator: Thank you, George. Our next question today comes from Seth Seifman from JP Morgan. Seth, your line is open. Please go ahead.
Seth Seifman: Thanks very much. Good morning. So, I saw that, you guys —
Christopher D. Kastner: Morning.
Seth Seifman: Morning. So, you guys increased the revenue guide for shipbuilding. And I wonder if you could talk maybe a little bit more over time about the opportunity for growth at Ingalls, with the, especially with the latest multi-years on the DDG, how that growth profile kind of looks now maybe versus, several months ago and, to the extent to which that can maybe be helpful for the margin mix.
Christopher D. Kastner: Yes, this is Chris. I’ll start and then Tom can complete, if we need to here, but they were the DDG 51 really solidifies Ingalls based for the next few years and creates a very stable business down at Ingalls. And we don’t give growth rates by division. But what we’re seeing is a bit of an inflection point from a topline standpoint, both in shipbuilding and Mission Technologies, I don’t want to get in front of it, we’ll wait till the end of the year before we can communicate that. But, well, I think we’re in a pretty good place. Growth has shown up in shipbuilding. It’s driven by the supply chain and stabilization of labor. And then Mission Technologies is just winning stuff. They’re converting their re-competes, they’re converting new business, all end markets that we think are very strong.
So yes, it’s a bit of an inflection point. We’re going to talk a lot more about that after we get to the end of the year because we want to close the year strong. But we feel pretty positive about growth going forward.
Thomas E. Stiehle: Yes. I’ll hop on the back of that too.
Seth Seifman: Perfect.
Thomas E. Stiehle: Yes, Seth, I’ll hop on the back of that too. I’m pretty happy with what I’m seeing down at Ingalls there. You know, NSC, we delivered NSC 10, so there’s one more ship set there. We’ve talked about how that portfolio can sustain itself and still get 3%, 3% plus potentially if things break their way on just the three major programs down there. We’ve seen that with the DDGs, the seven DDGs on contract, and now more most recently in August timeframe, they received the seven more there. So, they know what they’re building over the next decade. They can line that up from a planning, a labor resource and material perspective, and that’s going to kind of really help them drive consistent performance in production down there.
Also on top of that, we’ve seen a maturation of the 1000 program, the DDG 1000 program. So we put, the, first of, there’s two on contract, we put the first monetization on contract earlier this year. All three of those ships will be down there over the next two to three years going through an 11 to 12 month modernization process. And that’s a good base for them to employ the workforce there too. So I see, good healthiness even with the NSC program sun setting for Ingalls, to hit the 3% guided that we’ve had through 2023 and going forward. Yes.
