Electric Boat buying EMS Tupelo!

“ The EMALS launch system in Ford-class carriers are being handled by Bechtel Corporation. If EMS is no longer making money for the Blue family, it follows they’d divest the technology and not lose more money.”
Or, sell it at a profit to a company better suited to handle long-term installation and maintenance of the EMALS system. That would keep GA at the forefront of R&D with other projects and less in the product lifetime sustainability arena.
I wouldn’t take it as a sign of the company being dismantled.
