Apostrophe
Can I use apostrophe in the sentence like this:
-This ship was built in Krupp's shipyard. (I'm interested in it because many articles omit apostrophe and use "Krupp company" or "Krupp shipyard" as if it were just an adjective without underlining belonging the company to that man...)

You can say: This ship was built in Krupp's shipyard. This ship was built in the Krupp shipyard. In the second case "Krupp" is used attributively (a bit like "London" in "the London skyline", for instance).
