## Description

General Dynamics' Electric Boat and the U.S. Navy's submarine base set the tone in Groton, and the airport lives in their orbit. Groton-New London is a general-aviation field handling corporate aircraft, feeder traffic for the shipyard and base, and private flights toward Mystic Seaport and the shoreline. A CBP port of entry, it can clear international general-aviation arrivals, but it runs no scheduled freight. Air cargo for the region routes through Bradley (BDL), while the heavy loads of submarine country move by water down the Thames. It is a small field beside a very large defence industry.
