Nuclear submarines provided the Navy with vast capabilities that seafarers could only dream of prior to the Nautilus. Driven by the challenge of the Cold War, Electric Boat developed innovation after innovation to support our fleet. From the development to the Fleet Ballistic missile submarine for nuclear deterrence to designing the exceptional stealth capabilities that are the hallmark of America's attack submarines, we have helped our navy establish and retain its leadership in submarine superiority. Today we're the lead designer of the Virginia Class submarine and are sharing construction of the first four boats of that class with a Virginia shipyard. The Virginia Class is the first major warship completely designed by computer, a capability pioneered here at Electric Boat.
Exceptional capabilities take exceptional people.
I'm sure you'll gain a greater understanding of what a dedicated group of designers, engineers, tradespeople, and valued suppliers are doing to support our Navy Submarine Force and its ever expanding roles in helping to keep the peace. All rights reserved.
