naval dockyard

Warship maintenance facility

A naval dockyard is a shipyard operated by a country's navy for building, maintaining, and repairing military vessels.

Unlike commercial shipyards, naval dockyards handle warships, submarines, and other defense vessels, often with restricted access for security reasons: The destroyer was sent to the naval dockyard for repairs.
