Charleston Naval Shipyard

Charleston Naval Shipyard, located in South Carolina, was a major facility for building, repairing, and maintaining naval ships for the U.S. Navy from the early 1900s until its closure in 1996. It handled submarines, aircraft carriers, and other large vessels, providing specialized services such as shipbuilding, maintenance, and overhaul. The shipyard's operations contributed significantly to naval readiness and technology development. Today, the site has been repurposed for civilian use, including industrial and commercial activities, while preserving some historic structures related to its naval legacy.
