Sevastopol[sivas´tupOl´´, Rus. sye´´vustO´pul] Pronunciation Key - Economy

The city is a port, a major naval base, and a strategic strong point. Commercial vessels no longer use the deep natural harbor. Instead, the harbor is given over to the navy that patrols the Black Sea and the Bosporus. The city's industries include shipbuilding, lumber milling, food processing, and the production of bricks and furniture.
