Gosport is a town in Hampshire, England, located at the head of a [[peninsula]] at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbour opposite the city of [[Portsmouth]]. Like Portsmouth, it has a long naval heritage. One of its most prominent buildings is the Haslar Royal Naval Hospital, and in the 1860s the Gosport peninsula was isolated by a defensive line of artillery forts to protect the harbour against attack. During the [[Second World War]], Gosport (which, like Portsmouth, was heavily bombed) was home to the Royal Navy's main submarine base, and the town is today home to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.
