The more illustrious and celebrated NS Portsmouth Naval base and shipbuilding yard still continues to operate. The base is extremely old; in fact the base’s idea was first commissioned in 1800 by the French, however, the idea still persisted before that as well.
The whole shipyard is officially over two centuries old and it has seen various wars but despite all odds the base still continues to operate today, a major upheaval of the base and up gradation of the facilities was done under the command of President John Adams who signed for the up gradation of the base. Till today the base continues to build and supply ships to the United States Naval forces and continues to maintain its long heritage of ship building activities.
Even during the war the base was one of the most active ones and the first in the United States to build and maintain submarines, the workforce was so huge and effective that four submarines were built and released in a period of 24 hours. The base was due for closure in 2005, but the protests by workers managed to keep it open.
