Norfolk Naval Shipyard has a long history that predates the United States of America. Founded in 1767 as the Gosport Shipyard, it has been burned and rebuilt three times, once to prevent it from getting into the hands of the newly independent state of Virginia and twice during the early years of the Civil War. It has been in continuous operation since it was rebuilt after the American Civil War. Specializing in repairing, overhauling, and modernizing ships and submarines, it is the largest industrial facility owned and operated by the US Navy. Historic photographs from the archives of the Navy History and Heritage Command, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum, and the Norfolk Naval Shipyard Public Affairs Office tell the story of one of the largest shipyards on earth and exemplify what American hands are capable of creating. These images serve as a reminder of the past for those who were stationed or worked at the shipyard, preserving history for future generations.

The Long History of Norfolk Naval Shipyard is intertwined and inextricably linked to the nation itself. Founded in 1767 and continuing to this day it has endured under four flags, the British, the State of Virginia, the Confederacy and the United States. While the shipyard has been, and continues to be, at the tip of the spear for the defense of our nation, the real story is about its' people, be that the sailor who spent a few days in the yard getting their ship repaired, the military who have served there, or the many generations of Tidewater families who have worked there.
