'''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 [[Royal Navy|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.
