navy yard
Warship repair base
A navy yard is a government-owned shipyard where naval vessels are built, repaired, and maintained.
Unlike private shipyards, navy yards are military installations with restricted access: The destroyer was sent to the navy yard for repairs.
Historic navy yards like Brooklyn Navy Yard and Philadelphia Navy Yard have often been converted to commercial or industrial use.
