Milwaukee Valve hosts Navy Admiral Michelle Howard
Last month, Admiral Michelle Howard, vice chief of naval operations, toured Milwaukee Valve’s foundry and manufacturing plant in Prairie du Sac, Wis., in conjunction with the commissioning ceremony for USS Milwaukee (LCS5).
Milwaukee Valve is the United States Navy’s largest supplier of bronze valves, and its products have been installed on U.S. Navy ships for the past 50 years. More than 3,000 Milwaukee Valve products are found on the USS Milwaukee, which is a littoral combat ship. The littoral combat ship (LCS) is a new class of surface vessels intended for operations close to shore by the Navy.
