Electric Boat to eliminate up to 2,400 jobs

Breaking news - Electric Boat to eliminate up to 2,400 jobs this represents 20% of their work force.

Looks like WillyShake's previous post "Selling the Sub Force" is very timely.

The fading of General Dynamics will mark a lowpoint in our nation's submarine Force. If 20%of jobs are actually cut, as now believed, the word "decimated" accurately describe what will have happened.

Portsmouth, as fine a yard as it may be, has not been an innovator in submarine safety, nor immune from the downside of bureaucratic cost-control foolishness that GD managed to marginalize through the negotiation process.
