As 2020 comes to an end, I’d like to take an opportunity to thank each of you for your commitment to Electric Boat.
This video showcases just some of the highlights our team has achieved in what I consider to be a particularly challenging year by every objective measure. Together, we’ve faced enormous challenges and adversity while demonstrating tremendous grit and resolve. I believe that grit is what makes EB special, and I’m proud to share with you my perspective on what your effort means to our company and to our country.
It’s an honor and a privilege to be a part of this amazing team of shipbuilders. I am proud of all we have accomplished this year, and I know you are too. Please accept my personal thanks for your dedication and commitment to our company and from my family to yours, I wish you a peaceful and joyous holiday season.
