     With more than a century of experience, ELECTRIC BOAT has established standards of 
   excellence in the design, construction and lifecycle support of submarines for the U.S.
 Navy. Primary operations are the shipyard in Groton, CT, and the automated 
hull-fabrication and outfitting facility in Quonset Point, RI, with a current 
workforce of 11,300 employees. The Groton shipyard has two major functions, first, 
submarine design and engineering; and second, submarine assembly, test and delivery.
