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 10,500 employees.

Electric Boat is a division of General Dynamics, the sixth largest defense contractor in the world.

The original Electric Boat was established in 1899 and renamed itself General Dynamics as further acquisitions expanded its core business. The submarine manufacturing division then assumed the name Electric Boat.
