Information About

Virginia Capes




The importance of Chesapeake Bay in American history has long made the Capes strategically significant, most notably in the naval Battle Of The Chesapeake that was a crucial step in winning the American Revolutionary War .

More recently, because of the proximity of the naval yards at Norfolk and Newport News , the Capes area has often been used for the initial trials of new Navy ships.
