Senate may reopen probe of Electric Boat security
In Groton the Senate Armed Services seapower subcommittee may resume hearings on shipyard security after seven protesters were arrested for breaking into Electric Boat and damaging the Trident Georgia. The arrests followed a prior July 5 incident that saw nine protesters sentenced and some trespassers reach a Trident submarine USS Florida. The Atlantic Life Community claimed responsibility, saying entry was easy and intruders spent about 30 minutes near a submarine. Electric Boat declined comment while promising improved security measures. Senator Cohen indicated another congressional review is likely if repetition occurs.
