The Curtis Bay Coast Guard Yard is a 113-acre federal facility located adjacent to Curtis Creek approximately six miles southeast of downtown Baltimore. The current mission of the Curtis Bay Coast Guard Yard is to provide core industrial support for the Coast Guard, including the design, construction, and repair of ships and boats.

It is the Service's sole shipbuilding and major repair facility, and an essential part of the Coast Guard's fleet support operations. The yard annually operates on a $60 million internal revenue.

Improvements during and after WWII included a 3000-ton floating drydock, 2 shipways and a 320' x 60' concrete pier with tower crane. The Depot is now comparable in size and functions to a medium-size Navy shipyard.
