Founded in 1889, the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company was also called Puget Sound Bridge and Drydock, Associated Shipbuilders, and Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company. The company participated in most major construction sites in the Pacific Northwest, and they are responsible for many ships, including some of the Washington State ferries and many naval vessels during and after World War II. Lockheed Shipbuilding continued to build ships ranging from dredges, tugs and ferries to mine sweepers, ice breakers and guided missile frigates, mostly for the Navy, Coast Guard, and the states of Washington and Alaska, until their closure in 1988.

This photograph, taken about 1964, shows employees working on Hull 125, No. AG (EH), USS Plainview, at the Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company on Harbor Island at the mouth of the Duwamish River in Seattle.

USS Plainview (AGEH–1) was, in its time, the world's largest hydrofoil. Named for the cities of Plainview, New York and Plainview, Texas, she was also the United States Navy's first hydrofoil research ship. Plainview was laid down May 8, 1964; launched June 28, 1965; sponsored by Mrs. John T. Hayward; and placed in service on March 3, 1969. Plainview was decommissioned on September 22, 1978, at Pier 7, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
