Where is the Electric Launch Company? That article claims: At the end of the war the company merged with its sister company Electric Boat to form the nucleus of a new corporation General Dynamics. Here no word about it.--WerWil (talk) 11:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC).[reply]

SACO Defense

This is yet another of the companies that redirect to the General Dynamics article which has no information. Just saying that XXXXX company was acquired by General Dynamics in YEAR is essentially useless. N4aof (talk) 20:49, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OTS & ATP Merger

I can't edit this page. Can somebody please update the page to reflect the merger Ordinance and Tactical System and Armament and Technical Products. Press release is here http://www.generaldynamics.com/news/press-releases/detail.cfm?customel_dataPageID_1811=18539 Ctempleton3 (talk) 02:04, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on General Dynamics. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20081011012055/http://investor.shareholder.com:80/hlth/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=313710 to http://investor.shareholder.com/hlth/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=313710

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Submarines?

The article provided an interesting history of GD’s aerospace business.

There is also the history of its pre-World War I submarine business but not much mention of subsequent submarine work in the century since.

Should that be included in this article, too? Seems like an important part of the company’s story. —107.77.232.166 (talk) 22:58, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
