Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is one of four remaining publicly owned shipyards in the nation. Located about 50 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, at the southernmost tip of Maine, the Shipyard fully encompasses Seavey Island which sits at the mouth of the Piscataqua River. The island is across the harbor from Portsmouth, New Hampshire with access to the mainland by two bridges that connect it to Kittery, Maine. Portsmouth is the most experienced naval shipyard in submarine design, construction, modernization, and maintenance, and has a key role in the very-deep ocean submersible and special operations arenas. Today the Shipyard’s primary mission is the overhaul, repair, modernization, and refueling of LOS ANGELES Class nuclear powered submarines. It is also the Ship Availability Planning and Engineering Center for the LOS ANGELES Class. Portsmouth specializes in world-wide Fleet support and is an active participant in Northeast Regional Maintenance.
