I was inside Newport News shipyard a few years back for work. It is amazingly huge. Not as much walking as you might expect, since the distances are so big everyone drives trucks or golf carts around everywhere. Pretty sure I was inside both of those vessels while under construction, too. Well, parts of them as everything is built in sections and then glued together.
The picture below has the main lift crane circled. You cannot even imagine how big this is. But then it can lift aircraft carrier sections... It is waaaay up in the sky. Climbing that is a commitment, I'm sure.
