Good news for submarine watchers ... I hope we finish them and never have to use them, but as my dad use to say, "Don't be afraid be ready"

US Navy awards largest-ever shipbuilding contract to Electric Boat for new attack submarines

Quote:

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy on Monday awarded its largest-ever shipbuilding contract to General Dynamics Electric Boat for construction of nine Virginia-class attack submarines, eight of which will have 84-foot section that boosts the boat’s strike missile capacity.

The contract for the Block V Virginias, worth $22.2 billion, could grow by another $2 billion if the Navy exercises an option for a 10th boat.
