More information:

Govan was at one stage the centre of the world-renowned Clydeside shipbuilding industry, although few yards remain today. One of Govan's original yards remains one of two large shipyards to survive on the Upper River Clyde, the other being Yarrow Shipbuilders Limited based in Scotstoun. Both of these yards form a large part of BAE Systems Surface Ships.

RMG5EAHJ–Union GMB yard spokesman Jamie Webster gives his reaction at the BAE Systems yard in Govan, Glasgow, as it was announced that 1000 jobs are to go in the Govan and Scotstoun shipyards on the Clyde. *...BAe Systems is axing the shipworkers' jobs despite winning an order to build new destroyers for the MoD. The Govan yard employs about 800, and its history dates back to the heydey of Britain's merchant shipbuilding past. It was owned by the Norwegian group Kvaerner until last year, and among the ships built was a command ship for a satellite-launching system.
