 In
the early 1950s, teams from EMD, EPD and Target Rock helped design
and build systems for the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear
powered submarine. Engineers at Peerless were responsible for
developing the first instrumentation and control microprocessor
equipment aboard nuclear submarines.
Curtiss-Wright Flow Control's partnership with the Navy continues today as the
leading supplier of mission-critical applications for Nimitz Class aircraft carriers
and Virginia Class submarines, as well as next generation Gerald Ford Class CVN-21
carriers.
EPD first supplied the U.S. Navy with a "Worthington" direct-acting steam
pump sold in 1847. This was used for boiler feedwater service on the USS
Powhatan, a bark-rigged paddle frigate, also known as a side-wheel steamer. The
ship was launched by the Norfolk Navy Yard in February 1850 and commissioned
in September 1852.

Next generation products include the development of an electro-magnetic aircraft
launch system and advanced aircraft carrier arresting technology which enable
more efficient control systems to capture aircraft landing on the deck of a
carrier.
CWFC is working to create an advanced power supply for the Army's new electro-magnetic
weapon system development program. And it continues to support the entire naval
fleet with leading edge pumping, propulsion, valve and control systems and
solutions.
