Naval infrastructure investment can put money into local economies. Shipyard projects require machinery such as diggers and tractors and can improve construction firms’ capabilities. That equipment remains after the naval project ends. Civilian contractors can use it for roads, housing and factories. Naval investment can therefore contribute to wider postwar economic rebuilding through equipment and skills.
