- <p> The Pentagon's new image of competence has suffered a bit
- of a setback. Officials at Electric Boat in Groton, Conn., have
- discovered that the $1.7 billion SEAWOLF attack submarine being
- built there is too large for the Thames River. To move the
- vessel, the Navy will have to dredge a $12 million, eight-mile
- channel. Some residents contend that the removal of 2.7 million
- cu. yds. of contaminated sludge will harm the fishing industry,
- and have called for a full environmental-impact study before the
- digging begins.
