Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Includes shares of Issuer common stock received in connection with the legal and structural separation (the "Spin-Off") of the Issuer from Northrop Grumman Corporation ("NGC"), in an exempt transaction pursuant to Rule 16a-9.
(2) Total amount includes 60,240 restricted stock rights granted under the 2011 Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan ("HII LTISP") on 3/31/11, with 100% vesting on 3/31/14. Grant awarded pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d).
(3) Held in the Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. Savings Plan (the "Plan"), a qualified profit sharing plan, as of 3/31/11. Share totals with respect to the Plan are based upon unit accounting and therefore may reflect a decrease in units attributable to an individual though no disposition occurred.
(4) In conjunction with the Spin-Off, each stock option held by the Reporting Person as of the Spin-Off that was granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to an equity plan of NGC has been converted into a stock option granted by the Issuer pursuant to the HII LTISP on substantially the same terms (other than with respect to the exercise price and the number and type of shares covered thereby), pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the stock option. The grant and terms of the adjustment were approved by the Issuer's Board of Directors.
(5) This option is fully exercisable.
(6) Granted without payment by grantee.
(7) The vesting schedule of the NGC option, vesting over a period of three years to the extent of one-third (33%) annual equal installments on 2/17/10, 2/17/11 and 2/17/12, has been carried over to the Issuer option.
(8) The vesting schedule of the NGC option, vesting over a period of three years to the extent of one-third (33%) annual equal installments on 2/16/11, 2/16/12 and 2/16/13, has been carried over to the Issuer option.
