About General Dynamics

General Dynamics is an American aerospace and defense corporation. As of 2019, the company was the fifth-largest defense contractor in the United States and the sixth-largest in the world. The company began in 1899 with the formation of the Holland Torpedo Boat Company. They served as the primary supplier of U.S. Navy submarines and quickly built a reputation for themselves, winning many military contracts. The company grew until the end of WWII, at which point the demand for submarines began to wane. In 1952, the company changed its name to General Dynamics and shifted its focus to aircraft manufacturing. Throughout the remainder of the 20th century, General Dynamics grew markedly, establishing itself in the market, acquiring other companies, and entering partnerships. The company’s focus remains on aerospace, land, and marine systems, and the company continues to work with foreign and domestic governments as well as private and commercial entities.
