		Rosyth (pronounced Ross-sythe) (Scottish Gaelic: Ros Saoithe) is located in Scotland, United Kingdom on the Firth of Forth, a mile (1.6 km) south of Dunfermline and approximately 12 miles (19 km) north west of Edinburgh.
		The area is best known for its large dockyard, formerly the Royal Naval Dockyard Rosyth, construction of which began in 1909.
		Rosyth's dockyards became the very first in the Royal Navy to be privatised when a company named Babcock International acquired the site in 1997.

		Established as a base for the British Royal Navy in 1909, Rosyth was located on the Firth of Forth across the Forth estuary from Edinburgh.
		Used for docking purposes by the Grand Fleet, and for necessary repair work, Rosyth was designated the headquarters of the Grand Fleet's battlecruiser squadrons following German naval attacks upon the coastal towns of Hartlepool, Lowestoft and Scarborough in 1914.
		In 1919 the Grand Fleet's main base was relocated from Scapa Flow to Rosyth, a position that was reversed with the renewal of war in 1939.

	Report - Bo'ness United 2-1 Rosyth Recreation
		Rosyth's first half opportunities had been limited - one shot over the bar and, five minutes from the break, the No.5 had a strike from a tight angle beaten away by Mark Cairns, restored to the Bo'ness goal after a period out with injury.
		From what looked like a position of comfort Bo'ness were now under threat, and Rosyth grew in confidence as they began to impose themselves in the middle of the park.
		There was a real opportunity for the visitors on 76 mintues when the ball dropped for their No.7 ten yards out, but with the defence desperately scrambling to block the shot, he blazed the ball disappointingly over the bar.

		The unions claim that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is subsidising the dockyards at Devonport in Plymouth and, to a lesser extent, Portsmouth.
		Duguid said Rosyth lost the £11 million contract to refit Trident ten years ago and that contract was costing the British taxpayer £333m more than planned.
		Rosyth has secured a major role in an aircraft carrier contract with BAE Systems, but that work is not due to start until 2007, and with the MoD due to announce shortly which yard has won the multi-million pound order for HMS Edinburgh, the unions have decided to go on the offensive.

		Babcock, the company which runs the Rosyth yard, said it was delighted yesterday but insisted that the contract still had to be agreed.
		But managers at Babcock International, which runs the Rosyth yard, believe that the decision of both companies to make Rosyth the prime site for the carrier construction will secure the future of the Fife yard for the next ten years at least and probably even longer than that.

		The controversial move was attacked as a politically motivated decision to safeguard Conservative seats in the south of England, because Devonport was in a marginal Tory seat of Plymouth, while Rosyth was in solid Labour territory.
		It may be that Rosyth would have turned out this unrealistic as well," he said.

	BBC NEWS \| Scotland \| Rosyth secures Navy refit deal
		Trade unions at Rosyth believe the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has been subsidising dockyards at Devonport in Plymouth and to a lesser extent Portsmouth by paying their running costs.
		They argued that although Rosyth had secured a major role in a significant aircraft carrier contract with BAe Systems, the work was not due to start until 2007.
		The report claimed that Rosyth was at a significant disadvantage because the MoD paid for storage, gas, electricity, sewerage, water and repairs, thus providing an effective subsidy not enjoyed by Rosyth, which has to meet these costs itself.

	Overview of Rosyth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The town of Rosyth was planned as a 'garden city' to house the workers and construction of the dockyard and naval base, which extends over 505 ha (1248 acres) of land (almost 19 ha / 48 acres of which are reclaimed), began in 1909.
		During the Cold War years after World War II the dockyard and its associated naval base were developed as a refitting centre for conventional and nuclear Polaris submarines as well as frigates, minesweepers, and offshore protection vessels.
		Rosyth, now an important ferry port linking Scotland with Europe, has a leisure centre, library, four primary schools and additional industries such as the manufacture of drilling equipment and weighing equipment located on the Primrose and Belleknowes industrial estates.

	The Observer \| Business \| Hoon vows to save Rosyth from Halliburton 'shafting'
		Unions and other shipbuilders involved in the programme have expressed concern that the choice of KBR would cause serious problems for Rosyth, which is close to chancellor Gordon Brown's Dunfermline East constituency, because the US firm would insist on final assembly of the ships at the nearby Nigg oil-platform yard, which it owns.
		However, ministry sources moved swiftly to squash suggestions that Rosyth would miss out on work, or that KBR - which bid against other engineering groups including Amec, Bechtel of the US, and France's Alstom for the so-called 'physical integrator' contract to oversee project management - had the power to decide where construction was carried out.
		Sources said it was likely that four yards - Rosyth, VT Group's Portsmouth facility, BAE Systems on the Clyde and Swan Hunter at Wallsend on the Tyne - would all be involved in building the two 60,000-tonne ships.
