Devonport Dockyard is well known to sailors all around the world. It has been an outstanding marine center for more than 300 years and despite massive reductions, still has a workforce of over 4,000 people. Over half of its current work is involved in the refitting, refuelling and repair of nuclear powered submarines. After privatization, Devonport Management Limited (DML) bought the dockyard in 1997. They have improved efficiency and attracted commercial business, which now accounts for 30 per cent of their work. The most famous ship to have been refitted here must surely be the Royal Yacht Britannia, which came to Devonport for her last refit before retirement. Now many luxury vessels are being refitted and built here. There are tours of the Dockyard at regular intervals.
