Submarine Capital of the World

SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT’S ECONOMY IS SUPPORTED BY EMPLOYMENT OF ELECTRIC BOAT AND OUR US NAVAL SUBMARINE BASE IN GROTON. LOSSES OF THESE VITAL FACILITIES WOULD CREATE HAVOC AND REAL HARDSHIP THROUGHOUT CONNECTICUT. OUR STATE ECONOMISTS CALCULATE THE ANNUAL LOSS OF INCOME TO THE STATE AT 3.2 BILLION DOLLARS ($2500 per year per family). WITH A LOSS OF 32,000 REAL JOBS. A BUILD RATE OF ONE SUBMARINE A YEAR, GIVES ELECTRIC BOAT ONLY ½ A SUBMARINE A YEAR NOT ENOUGH WORK TO SUPPORT ITS INFRASTRUCTURE AND EMPLOYMENT. WE NEED TO “WAKE-UP” OUR CONNECTICUT CITIZENS AND MAKE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY AWARE OF THE “THREAT” TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, SHOULD WE LOSE THESE TWO FACILITIES WHICH REPRESENT AN UNPARELLED “CENTER OF EXCELLENCE” IN UNDERSEA AREAS OF EXPERTISE. THERE IS A VITAL NATIONAL DEFENSE INTEREST IN OUR MAINTAINING THE POSITION OF WORLD WIDE LEADERSHIP IN UNDERSEA EQUIPMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND TACTICS. FREEDOM OF THE SEA’S FOR COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC IS THE KEYSTONE TO OUR LIFESTYLE, OUR JOBS, AND OUR ECONOMY. YOU AND YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS EFFORT WILL BE THE ONLY WAY WE CAN AFFORD TO BROADCAST THIS MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC, THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, LEGISLATORS BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL, ACROSS THE NATION. WE’RE ALWAYS SAYING “WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?” NOW YOU HAVE YOUR CHANCE.
