Twenty-three Virginia companies made this year’s Fortune 500 list of the nation’s largest companies.

Gone from the list is Amerigroup Corp., which was No. 385 last year. The Virginia Beach-based health management company was acquired by Indianapolis-based health insurer WellPoint late last year.
Also missing from the list was Alliant Techsystems, which was No. 491 last year. The Arlington-based supplier of aerospace and defense products just missed the revenue cutoff this year. The company moved its headquarters from the Minneapolis area to Arlington in late 2011.
