Virginia Capes
The
Virginia Capes
are the two capes,
Cape Charles
to the north and
Cape Henry
to the south, that define the entrance to
Chesapeake Bay
on the eastern coast of
North America
. The importance of Chesapeake Bay in American history has long made the Capes strategically significant, most famously 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.
