Uncasville, CT (May 2, 2025) – Today, the Connecticut Sun announced its partnership with BlueForge Alliance for the 2025 season to promote maritime manufacturing and the BuildSubmarines.com platform to educate and bolster the maritime industrial base. As a partner, the Sun will feature BuildSubmarines.com on a variety of activations that align with increasing access to STEM opportunities for youth and investing in local communities.
