General Dynamics Delivers Submarine Hawaii
December 27, 2006
General Dynamics Electric Boat delivered the Hawaii (SSN-776), the nation's newest and most advanced nuclear-powered attack submarine, to the U.S. Navy ahead of
schedule. Electric Boat is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics
At a brief shipyard ceremony, Electric Boat President John Casey said
Hawaii's early delivery has important implications for the future of the
Virginia-class program.
Hawaii is the third ship of the Virginia Class, the Navy's first major
class of combatant ships designed with the post-Cold War security
environment in mind. Approved nearly four years after the fall of the
Berlin Wall, Virginia-class submarines embody warfighting and operational
capabilities required to dominate the littorals
