Defence Munitions Gosport is a defence munitions site situated on the southwestern shores of Portsmouth harbour, southeast of Fareham in Hampshire, England. The site occupies about 470 acres. Its facilities include two Integrated Weapon Complexes (IWCs), 24 processing rooms and 26 explosives stores. The site employs some 270 staff.[1]
The site is often used to supply munitions for ships at HMNB Portsmouth, which is on the other side of the harbour. Bedenham Pier, a jetty within the site, is used to unload munitions onto lighters, which carry munitions to the other side or the UHAF facility.[2][3]
Fort Elson lies within the boundary of the establishment.[4]
