Northrop Grumman Corp., plans to close its Avondale, Louisiana shipyard early in 2013, along with two smaller yards at Tallulah and Waggaman as it consolidates its military work on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

5,000 people are employed at the Avondale yard and will find themselves without a job after work is finished on two Navy amphibious assault ships.
