Connecticut - biting the hand that feeds it since the 60's.;-)
btw, they don't produce the weapons, just the boats.
Agree - but the anti-nukes consider nuclear power and nuclear weapons to be the same thing. Just think-if the first use of electricity had been to electrocute somebody they might be still fighting to ban electrons. Their tiny brains function in that manner-one thought deep all the time.
It's true we don't produce the nuclear weapons here but we do produce a great deal of war materiel, from the subs themselves, as mentioned, at General Dynamics, Electric Boat division to P&W Engines, to Sikorsky and Kaman Helicopters to the M-16 at Colt etc. CT has been a big part of the nations armory for a lot of years and was an A target all through the cold war.
All that said, it is still a stupid idea to keep the sub base open, tactically and strategically.
