WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement today after General Dynamics Corporation announced a change of leadership at Bath Iron Works (BIW):

“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Jeff Geiger for his steadfast leadership of Bath Iron Works over the past three years, and I wish him the very best of luck as he moves into his new position,” Senator King said. “I also want to welcome Fred Harris as the new president of BIW and Mike Mulligan as the new vice president and general manager. Their vast depth of leadership experience will surely benefit the shipyard in the years to come, and I look forward to working with them, as well as the rest of BIW’s leadership team, to ensure that the yard continues to be well-positioned to maintain a steady workforce and build world-class Navy ships far into the future.”
