Even before settlers came to the Puget Sound, the U.S. Navy was exploring the sheltered inlets and deep water ports of what was dubbed "America's Mediterranean." In 1856, the sailors of the navy warship Decatur repelled an attack by Native Americans, saving a tiny village on the shores of Elliott Bay named Seattle. In the ensuing years, Puget Sound became the West Coast's premier port of call for the navy's vessels and aircraft operating in the vast Pacific Ocean. During World War II, the region turned out a long line of combat and support vessels while quickly repairing many other ships that had been horribly damaged in clashes with the Japanese. In both peace and war, the communities of Puget Sound and the U.S. Navy have shared an enduring partnership that remains today.

Traced is the development of the shipyard and its effect on Bremerton from the beginnings in the late 1880's to the end of World War II in 1945. The beginnings are important in establishing why the shipyard was actually located where it is. Most of the physical development in the shipyard and the city seen today had occurred by 1945 as a result of the rapid escalation and growth during the war years. Four major phases of growth can be identified during the years of 1890 to 1945. The initial period begins with the investigations of various commissions appointed by the U.S. Navy that chose the site for a navy yard in the Pacific Northwest. It continues with the actual construction of the Navy Yard and the founding of the adjacent cities of Charleston and Bremerton. The second phase deals with the mobilization and buildup for World War I and the period immediately following the war (1914-1921). The third phase encompasses the period from 1925 to 1938 during which growth was modest in the Navy Yard but growth in the city became more self-centered in reorganization and consolidation. Finally, the last phase addresses the enormous build up and mobilization for World War II. Each phase will be discussed in terms of the forces and decisions influencing growth both in the shipyard itself and the city around it.
