Here is some irony: HDW is actually owned by a consortium of banks led by Ohio based Bank One!
They took over the company after it defaulted on its loans.
So . . . it is an American built submarine!!!

I thought that was a while ago and they have since resold that company.

So . . . it is an American built submarine!!! What American facility with what American workers produced it? That would be American built. I don't see anything in the article indicating it was built here. What I see is "The submarine is one of the four that the Kiel-based HDW has been building for Greece. The other three will be constructed at the HDW subsidiary Hellenic Shipyards in Greece." Nothing even indicates that any of the technology or design originated in the US.
