Naval dockyard
A naval dockyard is a specialized facility where ships, especially military vessels, are built, maintained, and repaired. It includes workshops, warehouses, and berths to support the construction, outfitting, and servicing of ships. Dockyards are essential for keeping naval fleets operational and ready, housing skilled personnel and advanced equipment. They are strategically located near coastlines or rivers for easy access to the sea. Think of them as a combination of a workshop and a garage, but on a much larger scale, dedicated solely to maintaining and supporting naval ships.
