Electric Boat Continues Hiring Spree Amid New Shipyard Announcement
Despite President Trump’s announcement of a new shipyard in Baltimore, Electric Boat’s position as the US Navy’s principal sub builder remains unchallenged. The new shipyard, to be built by Anduril Industries, will operate as an EB subcontractor, building submarine missile tubes and ballast tanks. Electric Boat is continuing its hiring spree, aiming to add 8,000 new employees this year, and has invested nearly $4 billion in manufacturing improvements over the last decade. This development was reported by the Hartford Courant.
