GREAT JOB!

Nice.

It is amazing to see in person.

I remember when I was walking under those ships., ((it's extremely impressive)) Greetings to all electricians from Detyens Shipyards, Inc โœŒ๐Ÿผ

Awesome !

My first time under a ship was amazing and nerve racking at the same time.

On Sunday, James Rogers celebrated his 49th anniversary working at Detyens Shipyards. James is a master painter in our paint shop. Imagine how many vessels he's painted! Thank you for all your hard work; we appreciate you, James. #detyensshipyards #employeespotlight #drydockdsi ... See MoreSee Less
