Naval Stores is a broad term which originally applied to the resin-based components used in building and maintaining wooden sailing ships, a category which includes cordage, mask, turpentine, rosin, pitch (resin) and tar. In modern usage, the term applies to all products derived from pine sap, which are used to manufacture soap, paint, varnish, shoe polish, lubricants, linoleum, and roofing material.

More broadly (and the term is still in common use today), naval stores are all the miscellaneous small items and spare parts necessary to keep a ship properly running. It's a "catch-all" term which (today) would include things like paint, common tools, rope, steel cable, nuts and bolts, spare mattresses, pots and pans, and furniture. It does not include major items, such as fuel, food, major ship components (whole engines, etc.), ammunition, etc.

Are shipbuilding and naval stores the same thing?
Naval stores has two meanings. It can mean the supplies and weapons and ammunition stored in the warehouse and used as needed. It can also mean the stores such as the exchange and the commissary for the Military people. But, generally it means the stores stored away in their warehouses or on their ships. Shipbuilding is the building of sea going vessels such as large Naval ships, submarines and small boats (such as the smaller boats the Coast Guard use) and ships for commercial purposes. The shipbuilding goes on at Shipyards such as the Newport News Shipyard.
