Description: In 1800 the United States established the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on an island in the Piscataqua River. Keenly abreast of the changing times technologically and scientifically, the PNS has seen its mission evolve from constructing wooden sailing ships to repairing and overhauling nuclear-powered, missile-firing submarines. This is the first full-length account of the Yard's history since 1978. Amply illustrated with many heretofore-unpublished photographs, this book demonstrates that the Yard's long, distinguished history mirrors that of the nation itself-a success story with a record of achievement.
