Retired Navy admiral hired as Electric Boat executive

GROTON, Conn. — The retired Navy admiral who served until last year as the top officer at the Groton base has been hired as an executive at submarine builder Electric Boat.

The company says Kenneth Perry will begin work next week as its Washington-based vice president of program integration and concept development.

Perry was a rear admiral in charge of a submarine group based at Naval Submarine Base New London at the time of his retirement from the Navy last year.

Groton-based Electric Boat, a division of General Dynamics Corp., is the Navy's primary submarine contractor.

The company says Perry will be responsible for its operations in Washington and serve as a key contact with Pentagon officials and Navy senior leadership. He will report to Electric Boat President Jeffrey Geiger.
