The harbors of the First District are some of the most strategic ports for the military resupply and national security. In addition to New York, the Navy operates critical bases in Groton, Connecticut, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Maine's Bath Iron Works' shipyards in Portland and Bath are key ship repair facilities for both the Coast Guard and Navy.
