Courtney Applauds Congressional Action Ensuring Continued Funding for Submarine Industrial Base, Columbia-class Submarine Program | 2023-11-16 | 2023 | 2023-11 | Democrat | House | CT | Joe Courtney | C001069 | courtney.house.gov | courtney | https://courtney.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) issued the following statement after the House and Senate passed a Continuing Resolution which ensures continued production of the Columbia-class submarine program and submarine industrial base. “Last night, with the Senate’s 87-11 vote, Congress sent a Continuing Resolution to the President’s desk to avert a government shutdown and ensure critical programs and services remain online, including submarine construction and the submarine industrial base. “The measure includes continuous support for the Columbia-class submarine program by extending funds for construction of the USS Wisconsin, while also providing an additional $3.3 billion for the Navy to procure materials with extended delivery times—or long-lead materials—to prepare for construction of future Columbia-class boats. Importantly, the measure also sustains critical investments in the submarine industrial base to ensure shipyards can continue recruiting and training workers, modernizing their facilities, and sizing up production across the supply chain. “In eastern Connecticut, this means that Electric Boat’s talented workforce and aggressive hiring goals will not skip a beat in carrying out their crucial mission to deliver for the Navy’s future fleet of submarines.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
