General Dynamics Electric Boat
The 7,800-ton submarine "Missouri" was built under a joint arrangement between General Dynamics Electric Boat and Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding-Newport News. Sections of the submarine were built at both shipyards with final assembly completed at one or the other. In this instance, SSN-780 was assembled at the Groton/New London, Connecticut shipyard. Final assembly occurred alternately between the two. During the design and construction phases both shipyards collaborated to complete each submarine.
