General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) has announced that Jeffrey S. Geiger will succeed John F. Shipway as president of Bath Iron Works effective April 1, Geiger, who has been senior vice president of operations at Bath since March 2008, will report to David K. Heebner, executive vice president of Marine Systems at General Dynamics. In announcing the transition, Heebner said, Dugan Shipway, who is retiring, has been instrumental in transforming Bath Iron Works into one of the most efficient, productive shipyards in the United States. Since becoming president in 2003, he has implemented an aggressive effort to improve the processes and facilities at Bath, and has created an environment that encourages commitment and teamwork from a skilled workforce. We thank him for his service to General Dynamics, the Marine Systems Group and the people of Bath Iron Works. At the same time, we welcome Jeff Geiger to his new leadership position, Heebner said. Jeff has worked at Bath Iron Works for nearly 25 years, and has been an integral part of the management team since Jeff understands the strengths of Bath Iron Works and its workforce, he understands naval shipbuilding and he understands our customers expectations. I am confident Jeff will build on BIW s recent record of success as he leads Bath Iron Works into the future. Geiger, 47, joined Bath Iron Works in 1984 as a production planner and since that time has advanced through a series of progressively more-responsible positions in production engineering, production control, manufacturing engineering, planning and quality assurance.

4 700 Washington Street Bath, ME News May 1, 2009 Contact: Jim DeMartini Tel: Fax: General Dynamics Awarded Contract for Additional Trimaran Littoral Combat Ship BATH, Maine The U.S. Navy today awarded a contract to a Bath Iron Works-led team for the construction of Coronado (LCS 4), the second Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) to feature an innovative, highspeed trimaran hull. The 419-foot surface combatant ship, equipped with open architecture-based combat systems and computing environment developed by General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, will be manufactured by Austal USA in Mobile, Ala. It is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in May Bath Iron Works is a subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD). The Littoral Combat Ship is a key element of the Navy s plan to address asymmetric threats of the 21st century. Intended to operate in coastal areas, the ship will be fast, highly maneuverable and geared to supporting mine detection/elimination, anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare, particularly against small surface craft. The Navy s first trimaran LCS, Independence (LCS 2), is in the final stages of construction and testing in preparation for its upcoming sea trials. This contract will support more than 500 jobs in Austal s Mobile shipyard, as well as more than 100 employees of General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Bath and Mobile, and General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems in Pittsfield, Mass., Mobile and other locations. Recent maritime events have clearly validated the need for the U.S. Navy to have the capabilities offered by LCS. We re proud to be playing an important role in fulfilling that need, said Jeff Geiger, president of Bath Iron Works. Our team is ready to apply the lessons we ve learned during the construction of Independence (LCS 2) to help make Coronado the most-affordable, most-effective LCS it can be. -more-
5 The General Dynamics Littoral Combat Ship design is based on a proven high-speed trimaran hull that was first manufactured by Austal (Henderson, Australia). Key features of the ship include a mission bay that provides a large below-deck open space, enabling the ship to carry equipment and personnel required for a variety of missions. Because of its large flight deck, the General Dynamics LCS will support nearsimultaneous operation of two MH-60 helicopters or unmanned aircraft, and the ultra-stable trimaran hull allows for flight operations in high sea conditions. The ship s open architecture computing environment another key factor in meeting the U.S. Navy s requirements for a flexible, reconfigurable mission ship enables industry s most capable, affordable, nonproprietary solutions to be incorporated into the its core mission system. This computing environment, developed by the General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems team, provides a highly flexible information technology backbone that allows plug and play integration of both the core systems and the LCS mission modules. It meets Navy open architecture requirements, strictly adheres to published industry standards and facilitates the integration of commercially available products. It also allows for future growth and seamlessly integrates combat-system components to create a core mission system solution that dramatically lowers acquisition and lifecycle costs. General Dynamics Bath Iron Works is the prime contractor for the General Dynamics Littoral Combat Ship Team. Partners include Austal USA (Mobile, AL); BAE Systems (Rockville, MD); General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems (Fairfax, VA); L3 Communications Marine Systems (Leesburg, VA); Maritime Applied Physics Corporation (Baltimore, MD); and Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems (Baltimore, MD). Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine, is a leading designer and builder of complex surface combatants for the U.S. Navy and employs approximately 5,600 people. General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Va., employs approximately 92,300 people worldwide. The company is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and information systems and technologies.

6 700 Washington Street Bath, ME News May 20, 2009 Contact: Jim DeMartini Tel: Fax: BIW Marks DDG 111 Keel Laying With First Ultra Unit BATH, Maine Representatives of the U.S. Navy and Bath Iron Works recently participated in a brief shipyard ceremony to mark the keel laying of Spruance (DDG 111), BIW s 33 rd DDG 51 Arleigh Burkeclass destroyer. The Spruance keel unit, a 900-ton ship module, had earlier been moved to its shipbuilding station on BIW s Land Level Transfer Facility (LLTF) using multiple self-propelled mobile transporters. This module, the first in BIW s 124-year history to encompass the full girth of the ship, from the keel to the weather deck, is also the first Ultra Unit to be completed in the shipyard s new Ultra Hall facility which opened in The 1.5 acre Ultra Hall allows BIW to accomplish significantly more construction, preoutfitting and testing of ship units indoors in climate-controlled conditions that enhance workforce safety and productivity. Since inaugurating its LLTF in 2001, the shipyard has steadily increased the size and content of its ship modules which has improved shipyard efficiency and produced significant cost savings for the U. S. Navy. The Spruance keel unit represents the next major step in the shipyard s commitment to construct highquality, affordable ships. Major firsts achieved in the construction of the Spruance keel unit included installing thousands of feet of cable, completing compartment air tests, verifying integrity of water tight doors, and completing pipe segment testing within the unit. All of these activities have traditionally been accomplished in later stages of construction. This ship module is the most completely preoutfitted and tested unit yet constructed at the shipyard. These advances in production capability are moving the shipyard toward even greater efficiencies on DDG 112, the last ship of this class currently under contract, and are paving the way for efficient construction of DDG 1000, the first ship of the Zumwalt class destroyer, which is now in its early stages. -more-
7 DDG 111 is named to honor Admiral Raymond A. Spruance, USN, whose calm and decisive leadership at the Battle of Midway contributed to the pivotal American victory. Leading Task Force 16 during the battle, with two aircraft carriers, Spruance s disposition of forces and management of available aircraft proved to be brilliant. His decisions during that action were important to its outcome, which changed the course of the war with Japan. Spruance (DDG 111) is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in the fall of Bath Iron Works, a leader in surface combatant design and construction, employs approximately 5,700 people. Since 1991, BIW has manufactured and delivered 30 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, the most technologically advanced surface combatant in the world, to the U.S. Navy. Four additional ships are currently under construction for delivery by General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Va., employs approximately 92,900 people worldwide. The company is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and information systems and technologies.

8 700 Washington Street Bath, ME News June 08, 2009 Contact: Jim DeMartini Tel: Fax: General Dynamics Littoral Combat Ship Team Completes Main Propulsion System Testing in Preparation for LCS 2 Sea Trials BATH, Maine, The General Dynamics Littoral Combat Ship Team, led by Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine, recently completed testing of the main propulsion system for Independence (LCS 2) in preparation for the ship s upcoming builder s at-sea trials. The ship, which is in its final stages of system test and activation, is being constructed at Austal USA facilities in Mobile, Alabama. All components of the combined diesel and gas turbine (CODAG) main propulsion system which drive the ship s four independent steerable water jets have been tested. The two diesel engines, two gas turbine engines, and four water jets are operational and all four propulsion shafts have been successfully rotated. The four ship s service diesel generators were successfully brought on line in earlier testing. The ship will soon undergo a series of dockside tests before going to sea for builder s trials this summer. Jeff Geiger, president of Bath Iron Works, said, With the main propulsion system now ready, we re well on the way toward getting this ship to sea. It s a major accomplishment for the GD LCS team and Navy personnel who have worked tirelessly to get us to this point. We will continue to perform system activation, testing and integration efforts over the next several weeks but with this milestone under our belts, everyone is looking forward to taking in the lines and putting Independence through its paces in the Gulf of Mexico. Independence is one of two ship designs that will be evaluated by the U.S. Navy as part of its plan to build a total of 55 Littoral Combat Ships. When delivered later this year, it will be the U.S. Navy s first trimaran warship. Independence (LCS 2) will be homeported in San Diego. -more-
