Description

Il Philadelphia Naval Business Center, in tempi passati noto come Philadelphia Naval Shipyard o Philadelphia Navy Yard, è stato il primo cantiere navale nella storia degli Stati Uniti d'America. La U.S. Navy ha ridotto le sue attività in questo porto a partire dagli anni '90, e le ha praticamente sospese il 30 settembre 1995. Poco tempo dopo, la parte occidentale del cantiere è divenuta cantiere navale commerciale, e viene identificata col nome di Aker Philadelphia Shipyard. Al 2008, le attività della marina includono il Naval Surface Warfare Center Ship Systems Engineering Station e la Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility , che non fa altro che ospitare navi da guerra inattive o ausiliarie.

Il cantiere nacque da uno più vecchio sulla First Street di Philadelphia sul Fiume Delaware, che era stato fondato nel 1776 e divenne un cantiere ufficiale della United States Navy nel 1801. Dopo che l'avvento di navi corazzate pesanti rese il cantiere obsoleto, uno nuovo fu ricostruito sulla League Island alla confluenza tra il Delaware ed il Schuylkill River.
