Saigon Naval Shipyard is a former French Navy, Republic of Vietnam Navy (RVNN) and Vietnam People's Navy (VPN) base in Saigon Vietnam.
The 57-acre (230,000 m2) base, located on the southwest bank of the Saigon River about 30 miles (48 km) from the South China Sea, represented the largest single industrial complex in South East Asia. Officially known as the Ba Son Corporation (Tổng công ty Ba Son), the modern incarnation of the shipyard is now based in the Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province, being one of the major shipyards in Vietnam.
