200 hundred jobs is not that many I am sorry to say. Throwing good money after bad is not a good idea. Just because the Comanche looks "cool" is not a valid reason to build it. And what are you talking about the sub base? New London? Groton? Most of the guys who work ther live in Rhode Island or Massachusetts because they can't afford to live in Connecticut.
If there was a valid reason to save the Comanche then it would have probably survived. That angular stealth design is old and newer designs have proven more effective. Look at the B-2, its skin is smooth and rounded. Who knows, maybe there is a more advanced design in the works somewhere that blows the Comanche away. And maybe they'll build it in Connecticut, OK? Remember when the F 117 was the F19 in everybody's mind? Who knew?

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Well, I don't think everything is lost. I am pretty sure the technology developed during the Comanche development could be used in other higher priority applications, maybe not now, but later on. Who knows if they revive this and improve it than it could have been (like the YF-17 - F/A-18 issue)?
