CALMING FEARS AFTER MERGER The head of the company that owns Electric Boat in Groton, Conn., took pains yesterday to reassure employees that a merger with Newport News Shipbuilding Inc. would not result in job losses, and could even lead to gains. Electric Boat's parent company, General Dynamics Corporation , announced the acquisition of Newport News last week. Electric Boat engineers are wrapping up design of the Virginia-class submarine, and instead of facing a layoff will probably help Newport News on the next class of aircraft carrier, said Nicholas Chabraja, chairman of General Dynamics.
