Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was established in 1891 as a Naval Station and was designated Navy Yard Puget Sound in 1901. During [[World War I]], the Navy Yard constructed ships, including 25 subchasers, seven [[submarine]]s, two minesweepers, seven seagoing tugs, and two ammunition ships, as well as 1,700 small boats. During [[World War II]], the shipyard's primary effort was the repair of battle damage to ships of the U.S. fleet and those of its allies.

Following World War II, Navy Yard Puget Sound was designated Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. It engaged in an extensive program of modernizing carriers, including converting conventional flight decks to angle decks. During the [[Korean War]], the shipyard was engaged in the activation of ships. In the late 1950s, it entered an era of new construction with the building of a new class of guided missile [[frigate]]s. In 1965, [[USS Sculpin (SSN-590)|USS ''Sculpin'' (SSN 590)]] became the first nuclear-powered submarine to be maintained at PSNS. The shipyard was designated a [[National Historic Landmark]] in 1992.<ref name="nhlsum"/><ref name="nrhpinv2">{{Cite journal|url={{NHLS url|id=92001883}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Navy Yard Puget Sound / Bremerton Navy Yard; Puget Sound Naval Shipyard|date=20 December 1990 |format=PDF |author=Erwin N.
