It’s a tremendous boost for our nation’s undersea warfare capability as well as Connecticut’s economy. The U.S. Navy continues to invest in Electric Boat’s submarines because they’re essential to national security, safeguarding our undersea superiority. The dedicated workers who make these boats are national heroes. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I’ll be fighting for more resources to support their work,” Blumenthal said. | 1 | 2026-07-30T07:32:48Z | 2026-07-30T07:34:08Z |
