Boeing's Poseidon sub hunter for Navy brings commercial, defense sides together
This is not the workhorse commercial airliner. It's the first 737 to be transformed into a submarine-hunter jet for a program the U.S. Navy calls P-8A, or Poseidon. On a recent morning, mechanics inside the plane installed wiring, plumbing and other systems. The loud vibrating rhythm of rivet guns came from an adjacent assembly bay where the wings are made.
