Today Electric Boat is the design yard and prime contractor for the Virginia-class submarine program. The Virginia class is the first major warship completely designed in a virtual environment, a capability pioneered by the people of Electric Boat. With each Virginia-class submarine Electric Boat delivers, the company is shortening the construction schedule and reducing the cost, helping establish the program as a model for defense procurement. Employing many of the best practices used in the Virginia program, Electric Boat is currently engaged in the development of the Ohio Replacement, the third generation ballistic-missile submarine, which will provide strategic deterrence for the nation well into the remainder of this century. The Ohio Replacement Program represents the future of our company, as we develop new tools and processes to design submarines for the U.S. Navy. Key to our future success will be the new employees who come aboard and learn how to design, build and support nuclear submarines and their undersea systems. Throughout its distinguished history, Electric Boat has been defined by its people, their skills and the legendary commitment they bring to their jobs. A tangible sense of pride runs through the entire work force - shipyard trades, designers, engineers and the rest of the disciplines required to produce what is arguably the most complex product built by man. Electric Boat remains dedicated to maintaining and advancing its superb technical capabilities while providing the business leadership required to effectively manage the challenges of nuclear-submarine production. We will succeed by applying an intensity of purpose to a level of shipbuilding competence that sets the industry standard and provides the U.S. Navy with undisputed undersea superiority.
We share a dedication and commitment to delivering quality to our customers. Our interdisciplinary team of engineers, administrators and support personnel fosters a collaborative and comprehensive work environment by offering innovative approaches to Electric Boat initiatives. As part of our mission in maintaining a vibrant and dynamic professional community, Electric Boat regularly attends national diversity events. We participate in The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) conferences, The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) career fairs, The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) conventions, the Hire the Disabled Career Expo and the Black Engineer of the Year Conference.
