This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating shipyards. Shipyards are fixed facilities with drydocks and fabrication equipment capable of building a ship, defined as watercraft typically suitable or intended for other than personal or recreational use. It has no schema of its own: companies here are mapped on the Manufacturing schema, and what it does not cover is recorded as gaps.
