I don't know if "loyalty, hard work, diligent work ethic" were ever the hallmark of Pearl Harbor Shipyard. It is my recollection that about 25 years ago Pearl Harbor Shipyard was considered the worst in the nation and a target for shutdown and it was Inouye who saved it.  I remember seeing Pearl Harbor employees in their cars 15 minutes before their end time and it looked like the start of the Indy 500 when the whistle blew.
