Shipmaker Austal announced Monday that it had accepted the resignation of Austal USA President Craig Perciavalle following U.S. and Australian investigations into “historical matters” in the Littoral Combat Ship program.
Employees at Austal USA’s Mobile shipyard were notified by text Monday afternoon that President Craig Perciavalle had resigned. A company spokesman confirmed the contents of the text, which also said that Austal USA Chief Financial Officer Rusty Murdaugh had been named interim president and would continue to serve as CFO, a post he has held four years.
