During Bath Iron Works’ rich history, we expanded to other areas of Southern Maine depending on our needs. During War World II, from 1940 to 1945, there were two Todd-BIW yards in South Portland where Liberty ships were built. In order to install sonar domes for Ticonderoga Class Aegis Cruisers and Arleigh Burke destroyers to make ship repairs, we had a yard in Portland in the Old Port district equipped with a dry dock.
