San Diego Marine

San Diego Marine Constrction, San Diego CA

San Diego Marine Construction was established in 1915 by Captain Oakley J. Hall. It was sold to Campbell Industries in 1972 and then in 1979 to Southwest Marine, who stopped building boats in 1983 and concentrated on the repair business. In 2003, Southwest Marine was sold to U.S. Marine Repair, which became BAE Systems Ship Repair in 2005 and the yard continues today as a repair facility, immediately next door to NASSCO.
