Charleston Naval Shipyard is a shipyard in North Charleston that specializes in the construction and maintenance of military vessels. The facility includes multiple large dry docks, assembly halls, and administrative buildings built over more than a century.
The shipyard was founded in 1901 and became one of the major naval facilities on the East Coast. Over the decades, it launched significant vessels and played a role during multiple wartime periods.
