Electric Boat Nuclear Submarines

General Dynamics Electric Boat is a cornerstone of American maritime defense, specializing in the design and construction of nuclear-powered submarines for the United States Navy. Founded in the late 19th century, the company rose to prominence by building the Navy's first commissioned submarine, the USS Holland, establishing a legacy of undersea innovation that has spanned over a century.

Manufacturing takes place across specialized facilities in the United States, including major yards in Groton, Connecticut, and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. The production process involves a highly integrated domestic supply chain spread across multiple states. As of 2026, the company is deeply involved in several multi-billion dollar shipbuilding initiatives, most notably the Columbia-class ballistic missile program and the Virginia-class attack submarine program.

Electric Boat operates as a primary business unit of General Dynamics Corporation, a global aerospace and defense conglomerate. The brand remains a vital component of the U.S. industrial base, ensuring continuous modernization of the nation's sea-based nuclear deterrent and attack capabilities through long-term government contracts.
