Electric Boat has a lot of experience building diesal subs.

Everyone of the subs we built during WWII was a diesal sub.Well actualy a diesal electric sub.

With the improvements in technology today,I’m sure that they could build very capable diesal boats.

When was the last diesel-electric boat launched in Groton?

What sort of submarines does Electric Boat build in Groton TODAY?

I have no doubt that we could build quality diesel boats in Groton, or Newport News, or maybe even Pascagoula ... but we'd have to start from a blank CAD file. We'd be starting to do what the Germans and Japanese are currently doing.
