Charleston Navy Shipyard
The Charleston Naval Shipyard, which orignally opened its doors in 1901, contributed to multiple U.S. wars. One key role this shipyard played was in World War II; it served as as a home for naval ship repair and construction. The site closed in 1995, and since then, parts of the property have undergone redevelopment though portions of the historic site which remains intact.

Fort Terry, New York
This site, which was built on Plum Island off the coast of New York in 1898, was used as defense during the Spanish-American War. The site was also heavily used during both World War I and II. Once this site was deemed unnecessary for protection in 1969, the fort was transformed into the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
