Good point. Electric boat, not Bath. I guess I was just thinking about the company.
However, you still can’t throw out the baby with the Bath water. Wishing for Maine to go away sounds just like wishing for California to fall into the sea.
Bath Iron works is not an essential shipyard, like, say Newport News or Electric Boat, and has been close to going out of business many times. It is there for political convenience to buy senators. If the Senators are unreliable, the shipyard can go away. It’s politics.
