Wonder where they send you if you requested services to Norfolk Naval 
Shipyard?  England??

(For the benefit of those not familiar with the area The Ship Yard is 
located at Portsmouth, VA.  When it was built there was another 
Portsmouth Ship yard in New Hampshire.  So they called the one in 
Portsmouth, Virginia The Norfolk.Naval Shipyard.)

Seems like there was also a Port Norfolk at one time on the 
Portsmouth side.  Not sure about this as many years has passed.

West Norfolk.  I seem to recall this was the location of the old 
Virginia Chemical Co.  Good customer of the old N&W.
