To read the full piece, click here. “The world’s leading submarines and fighter jets do not design themselves. Submarines planned and manufactured on the Connecticut shoreline are the best in the world. At a time when drones and missile technology are changing the nature of armed conflict, submarines remain essential to a nation’s defense. “This summer, the federal government issued a $76.6 billion award to General Dynamics for 14 submarines, nine Virginia-Class attack submarines and five Columbia-Class ballistic missile submarines. It is, as the hero of this story pointed out in June, ‘the largest shipbuilding contract in modern history.’ That hero is U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, of the state’s Second Congressional District. The Vernon Democrat has become the leader who has made the most enduring contribution to the state’s economy." ### | 1 | 2026-09-19T09:11:33Z | 2026-09-19T09:12:45Z |
