Vickers shipyard was a prominent shipbuilding facility located in Barrow-in-Furness, England. Established in the 19th century, it became known for constructing various types of vessels, including military submarines and commercial ships. The shipyard played a significant role in the maritime industry, contributing to both World Wars by producing naval ships. In the latter half of the 20th century, Vickers faced challenges due to changing economic conditions and competition. Eventually, the shipyard underwent several ownership changes and restructuring efforts. Today, it is part of BAE Systems, continuing to focus on advanced naval shipbuilding and defense technologies.
