The Royal Navy Dockyard at Devonport

As the Ferry crosses between Devonport and Torpoint you have quite a good view of one small section of the dockyard, in the vicinity of the Frigate Complex. The yard actually stretches for four miles along the shore of the Tamar and covers a land area of 650 acres.

The Frigate Complex provides 3 entire dry docks with all the support facilities, enabling a dry weather working environment throughout the year.






This is a visiting German Frigate, The Bremen, moored at one of the 25 tidal berths along the waterfront.








Nowadays the Dockyard is not solely committed to the support of the Royal navy.
