LYON SHIPYARD INC

Lyon Shipyard Inc. specializes in the repair, overhaul, and sustainment of U.S. Navy and Department of Defense maritime assets, with deep expertise in programmed drydocking, industrial yard operations, and vessel maintenance for landing craft, barges, and logistics support vessels. The company delivers precision shipyard services including hull cleaning, structural repairs, coating applications, mechanical system restoration, and programmed maintenance cycles for specialized naval craft such as LCM-8s and YRBM-class barges. Their technical capabilities encompass naval architecture support, marine systems integration, and compliance with Navy maintenance standards for combat support vessels operating in high-readiness environments. Lyon Shipyard’s focus on mission-critical vessel sustainment distinguishes it as a trusted partner for maintaining the operational readiness of amphibious and auxiliary fleets. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering shipyard services primarily to naval forces based in Norfolk and surrounding maritime hubs. Work includes scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, and readiness upgrades for amphibious landing craft, utility barges, and support vessels critical to fleet logistics. While limited engagements with the Department of Homeland Security and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are noted, the overwhelming majority of performance is aligned with Navy fleet sustainment requirements. Lyon Shipyard’s primary industry focus is shipbuilding and repairing (NAICS 336611), with additional experience in water transportation support activities. The company operates within the defense maritime industrial base, specializing in non-new-construction vessel sustainment rather than new build programs. Their market positioning is that of a niche, operationally focused shipyard serving the U.S. Navy’s mid-tier maintenance and readiness needs. As a 2L entity headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, Lyon Shipyard Inc. leverages its strategic location near major naval infrastructure to deliver responsive, on-site shipyard services. The company holds no federal certifications and operates as a privately held contractor with a focused, geographically anchored presence in the Mid-Atlantic defense maritime sector.
