The Bureau of Construction and Repair (BuC&R) was the U.S. Navy organization primarily responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of the Navy's ships. Significantly, BuC&R did not have responsibility for engines or ship's equipment, those falling under the jurisdiction of the Bureaus of Engineering and Equipment.
