dockyard
Ship construction facility
A dockyard is a shipyard—a facility where ships are built, repaired, and maintained.
The term is more common in British English and often refers specifically to naval installations: the Royal Dockyard at Portsmouth.
Dockyards include dry docks, warehouses, and workshops for outfitting vessels.
