Electric Boat Corporation

Reyburn, J.S.: 2006 USA, softcover, 127 pages, with many photos. Electric Boat Corporation by James S. Reyburn is a pictorial history that traces the submarine builder’s evolution from launching the U.S. Navy’s first accepted submarine Holland in 1900 to ushering in the nuclear era with USS Nautilus and the ballistic-missile George Washington class, highlighting a century of American industrial ingenuity and naval innovation. Through 200+ archival photographs, it follows the company’s “ups and downs” as it diversified into merchant ships, patrol craft, and marine engines, while consolidating its role as America’s leading submarine yard within General Dynamics.
