GROTON, Conn., October 12: General Dynamics Electric Boat
will name South Dakota (SSN 790), the U.S. Navy's most recent and most sophisticated
nuclear assault submarine, at a ceremony at its shipyard Saturday, Oct. 14, at
10 a.m. Electric Boat is an entirely possessed ancillary of General.
Deanie Dempsey is the ship's patron. She is the wife of superannuated
U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, ex-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. South
Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard will be the episode's chief speaker.
The submarine South Dakota is the 17th vessel of the
Virginia Class. The dominant feature of the group is the modularity obtained from
the outline / form method, which reinforces effective creation and objective competence.
This gives the U.S. Navy with a submarine category that develops the advanced
with every subsequent vessel. South Dakota's flexibility makes it exceedingly receptive
to varying task necessities.
Electric Boat and its collaborator, Newport News
Shipbuilding, contribute to construction of the submarines under a teaming contract.
Overall 28 Virginia-class submarines have been provided, are under production
or under deal.
