Nautholsvik Naval Shipyard is the primary shipbuilding yard in the United Kingdom of Meckelnburgh for the Royal Meckelnburgh Navy, Royal Meckelnburgh Saeweard and other armed services of Meckelnburgh. The shipyard is located on Victoria Harbor on the east coast of the Nautholsvik Peninsula in Victoria. Nautholsvik shipyard opened in 1685 AN with the founding of Meckelnburgh and produced the nation's first naval vessels. In the 1730s AN, production at the shipyard expanded from light ships to capital assets, while the first exports were delivered in 1752 AN.

History

A portion of the shipyard in Victoria.

First Generation.

Until the 1730s AN, the vessels produced by Nautholsvik Naval Shipyard are often lighter class ships or auxiliary vessels. Heavier naval assets for the Royal Meckelnburgh Navy, Royal Saeweard and other branches were imported instead. The production at the shipyard offered the smaller kingdom access to a consistent, well-established fleet of defensive vessels since 1685 AN, at Meckelnburgh's founding.

Second Generation

Beginning in the 1730s AN, a number of conflicts in the world broke out. These included the 1733 AN Senyan protests across from Branniboria on the Apollonian mainland and the catastrophic Streïur uis Faïren (1733 AN–1741 AN) on Benacia, the latter of which saw the Benacian Union threaten action against Meckelnburgh vessels. As well, many of the core classes of Meckelnburgh's naval defense were almost 50 years old.

Consequentially, the Parliament of Meckelnburgh announced an official national defense plan, the Three in Three Program, in 1734 AN to massively increase the defense of Meckelnburgh, including building assets to compensate for the increased defense responsibilities not addressed since 1728 AN, when the island of Esthar was annexed as the constituent country of Branniboria. The Nautholsvik Naval Shipyard was then tasked with producing the revolutionized fleet.

Starting in 1752 AN, Nautholsvik shipyard began its first foreign sales, delivered to Meckelnburgh's closest ally, the Lanzerwald Republic. One of the primary sales, the Penninsular-class multi-purpose frigates, remains the longest workhorse in the Meckelnburgh navy.
