Mahidol Adulyadej Naval Dockyard (Thai: อู่ราชนาวีมหิดลอดุลยเดช กรมอู่ทหารเรือ) is a Royal Thai Navy shipyard in Sattahip, Chonburi. It is named after Prince Mahidol Adulyadej, who served in the Royal Siamese Navy from 1912 through 1914. There are plans to base one of Thailand's submarines at the dockyard.[1]
