General Dynamics Corp.

Major U.S. defense contractor. Its forerunner, the Electric Boat Co., was founded in 1899 and built the Holland, the first submarine purchased by the U.S. Navy. After World War II it diversified into military aircraft, armoured vehicles (including the M-1 battle tank), and natural gas tankers. The company was incorporated under its present name in 1952, and in 1954 it launched the Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine; it later produced the Trident submarines. Its Gulfstream Aerospace subsidiary manufactures business jet aircraft.
