The US Coast Guard is creating a new no-go zone around a submarine builder in Rhode Island

The US Coast Guard wants to establish a new security zone in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. This zone would prohibit all vessels and people from entering the waters around the Electric Boat shipyard without special permission.

This proposed rule means a major US submarine builder is getting tighter physical security. It makes it harder for unauthorized vessels to approach the facility, which builds and maintains nuclear submarines. This kind of physical security is a basic requirement for any critical defense infrastructure.
