General Dynamics was officially established February 21, 1952, although it has organizational roots dating back to the late 1800s. The company was formed after its predecessor and current operating division, Electric Boat, acquired the aircraft company Canadair Ltd. and began building the first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus. "General Dynamics is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, and employs approximately 81,100 people in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. The company offers exceptional career opportunities to qualified men and women."
