===Interwar===
After the war, the US Navy did not order another submarine from Electric Boat until {{USS|Cuttlefish|SS-171|2}} in 1931.<ref>[[Henry Trevor Lenton|Lenton, H. T.]] ''American Submarines'' (Doubleday, 1973), p.37; [[Norman Friedman|Friedman, Norman]]. ''U.S. Submarines Through 1945: An Illustrated Design History'' (United States Naval Institute Press, 2005), pp. 285–304.</ref> ''Cuttlefish'' was the first submarine built at EB's plant in [[Groton, Connecticut]] which has been its primary submarine manufacturing facility ever since. EB was the lead yard for several classes of submarines (''Perch'', ''Salmon'', ''Sargo'', ''Tambor'', ''Gar'', ''Mackerel'' and ''Gato'') prior to World War II.

Starting in the early 1930s, EB was one of only two major US submarine manufacturers (the other being the [[Portsmouth Navy Yard]]) until the late 1950s. Three other yards ([[Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company|Manitowoc]], [[Mare Island Naval Shipyard|Mare Island]], and [[Cramp Shipbuilding|Cramp]]) produced submarines only during World War II. Several other yards ([[New York Shipbuilding]], [[Ingalls Shipbuilding|Ingalls]] and [[Fore River Shipyard]]) as well as Mare Island built submarines in the late 1950s through the early 1970s. Since 1974, only Electric Boat and [[Newport News Shipbuilding|Newport News]] have built submarines for the US Navy.
