shipyard

It comes after BAE Systems, which runs military shipyards on the Clyde at Scotstoun and Govan, last week secured a contract to build Type 26 frigates for the Royal Norwegian Navy.

The vessels are to be built at BAE Systems' Glasgow shipyards, supporting more than 2,000 jobs at the yard, ministers said.

When the shipyards, steel mills and collieries fell silent, they left a generation of men, whose pride and identity had been bound up with the things they made, struggling to adapt.

Suoyuwan park in Dalian, which juts out of north-eastern China into the Yellow Sea, has stunning views of one of China's largest shipyards, and is a place to gather and be merry.

Eight Type 26 frigates are currently being built at BAE Systems' Glasgow shipyards for the Royal Navy, to replace its ageing Type 23 frigates.
