Newport News sits on the James River in southeast Virginia, a shipbuilding city at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay region. Newport News Shipbuilding, one of the country's major shipyards, builds aircraft carriers and submarines here, and the city's working waterfront has shaped it for generations. The Mariners' Museum and Park, one of the largest maritime museums in the world, holds the USS Monitor Center, with artifacts from the Civil War ironclad. Christopher Newport University gives the city a campus near the river, and the Virginia Peninsula offers beaches, parks, and colonial history nearby.
