Kittery

Town in southern Maine, on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, across from Portsmouth, New Hampshire; population (1990) 9,400. Despite its name, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (1806) is here, spread over several islands in the river. Pleasure boats and wood products are also manufactured.

Kittery produced John Paul Jones's Ranger, the Civil War Kearsarge, submarines for both world wars, the first atomic-powered ship, and the first Polaris missile-launching submarine. There is a US naval prison here.
