shipyard
- /ˈʃɪpˌjɑɹd/ US
Where it comes from
From ship + yard.
noun shipyards
- A place where ships are built and repaired. To my mind, it appears obvious in the context of total shipwork, the private shipyards are doing very well indeed. It is true that with the dwindling size of the Navy, there will be less repair work.
