Naval Submarine Base Kings BayWith its tenants and partners, Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay conducts strategic deterrence, strike, and special intelligence operations. That, along with the exceptional physical security, waterfront support, and Emergency Operation Center, work in tandem to ensure mission success.

Kings Bay is the east coast homeport for the Ohio-class SSBNs and SSGNs. It is the only base on the east coast capable of handling Trident II D-5 missiles and serves as a key partner in the fleet’s submarine-launched and ship-launched Tomahawk Cruise Missile program.

Team Kings Bay trains thousands of Sailors and stands ready to support cur-rent and future maritime and fleet tasking. The Atlantic Trident submarines are maintained in stellar condition, allowing them to maintain the highest sustained operating tempo per hull of any U.S. Navy ship.

Submarine Base Kings Bay continues to carry out missions and training in the interest of the nation’s security. 

Kings Bay is a joint and cooperative installation that has earned a host of mission-related and quality-of-life accolades for efficiently and effectively supporting the Navy’s Fleet, Fighter and Family and our nation’s Cooperative Maritime Strategy.

Naval Submarine Base GuamStrategically located at the forefront of maritime opera-tions in the Pacific, U. S. Naval Base Guam is vital to the strategic interests of the United States and is homeport for the Navy’s two submarine tenders. The tenders alternate between Apra Harbor in Guam for logistical, maintenance, and materiel support to submarines and operating forward to support units in the 5th Fleet and 7th Fleet areas of operation. Naval Base Guam is home to Los Angeles-class submarines, which are able to respond more quickly than CONUS forces and fall under Commander, Submarine Squadron (COMSUBRON) 15, located at Guam’s Polaris Point. The COMSUBRON 15 staff is responsible for providing training, materiel, and personnel readiness support to these four units.

The training facility at Polaris Point has resources and system experts to ensure that crews maintain sharp combat skills while in port. Naval Submarine Training Center Pacific detachment Guam simulates real-world environments and adver-sary capabilities to train Sailors’ mission planning, tactics, and operational skills. Recent construction at Naval Base Guam and Polaris Point includes an Emergent Repair Facility, a Dehumidified Storage Facility, and the Navy’s newest and most advanced Fire Fighting Trainer.

Naval Submarine Base New LondonStretching along the east side of the Thames River, straddling the communities of Groton and Ledyard, Conn., Naval Submarine Base New London and the local community proudly call Southeastern Connecticut the “Submarine Capital of the World.”

Occupying more than 680 acres and more than 160 major facili-ties, Naval Submarine Base New London supports fleet readiness by providing quality service and facilities to our Fleet, Fighters, and Families. The base’s mis-sion is twofold: to homeport and put its Los Angeles-class and Virginia-class submarines to sea and to support the Submarine Center of Excellence.

Naval Submarine Base New London is also home to more than 70 tenant com-mands and activities, including the Undersea Warfighting Development Center, Submarine Squadron 4, Submarine Squadron 12, the Submarine Learning Center, Naval Submarine School, the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory, and the Naval Undersea Medical Institute.

At the heart of the base and these commands are some 6,500 active-duty and reserve Sailors, 2,300 civilian employees and contractors, and their families who, through daily sacrifice and service, contribute so much to Navy Team New London, the Navy, and this nation.

Naval Submarine Base NorfolkWith 75 ships, 134 aircraft, 14 piers, and 11 hangars on approximately 3,400 acres comprising about four miles of waterfront and seven miles of pier and wharf space, Naval Station Norfolk is the world's largest naval station. The base is located at Sewell's Point on the Hampton Roads peninsula of southeastern Virginia. The base was commissioned in 1917 and today houses the largest concentration of U.S. Navy forces.

The base's Port Services controls more than 3,100 arrivals and departures annually of ships heading to and from operations in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Caribbean. Naval Station Norfolk is the homeport for Los Angeles-class and Virginia-class submarines.

The Magnetic Silencing Facility at the base operates the Sewell's Point Degaussing Range and Lamberts Point Deperming Station providing degaussing services, including ranging and deperming, for U.S. Navy, U.S. government, and friendly-nation ships.

The base's Air Operations conducts 275 flights per day on average, or one every six minutes. It is the hub for Navy logistics going to the European Command and Central Command theaters of operations, and to the Caribbean. More than 150,000 passengers and 264,000 tons of mail and cargo depart from Naval Station Norfolk each year.

Naval Submarine Base KitsapCreated in 2004 by merging the former Naval Station Bremerton with Naval Submarine Base Bangor, the Mission of Naval Base Kitsap is to serve as the host com-mand for the Navy's fleet throughout West Puget Sound and to provide base operating services, including support for both surface ships and submarines homeported at Bremerton and Bangor.

The base occupies more than 11,000 acres in various locations in Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia, Canada. The five main installations are in Kitsap County and include Bangor, Bremerton, Keyport, Manchester, and Jackson Park. NBK is home to more than 60 tenant commands staffed by Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Soldiers, and civilians and contractors.

NBK is homeport to Ohio-class SSBNs, Ohio-class SSGNs, and Seawolf-class SSNs. On shore, NBK hosts the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport, and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, among others. Three flag commands call Naval Base Kitsap home: Commander Navy Region Northwest, Commander Submarine Group Nine, and Commander Carrier Strike Group Three.

Naval Submarine Base Pearl HarborLocated on the island of Oahu, Naval Station Pearl Harbor is about 8 miles west of Honolulu. The base's primary mission is to provide berthing and shore sup-port to surface ships and submarines, as well as main-tenance and training.

Naval Station Pearl Harbor can accommodate the largest ships in the fleet, even for dry dock services, and is now home to more than 160 commands. Housing, personnel, and family support are also provided and are an integral part of the shoreside activities.

Because Pearl Harbor is the only intermediate maintenance facility for sub-marines in the Middle Pacific, it serves as host to a large number of visiting submarines and their crews.

Presently NSPH is homeport to Los Angeles-class and Virginia-class fast attack submarines of Submarine Squadrons 1 and 7.

Naval Submarine Base Point LomaAs the home of San Diego’s Silent Service, homeport for Los Angeles-class submarines, and the premier techni-cal hub for the Navy, Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) consists of the Naval Submarine Base, Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command, Commander Third Fleet Headquarters complex, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Headquarters, SPAWAR Systems Center, and Fleet Intelligence Training Command Pacific.

More than 18,000 active duty military and civilian employees and several thou-sand contract personnel work on NBPL’s 1,870 acres.

NBPL provides support to 70 U.S. Pacific Fleet afloat and shore-based ten-ant commands headquartered on the base. Shore-based tenant commands include Commander Third Fleet, Space Center, Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command, Commander Sealift Logistic Command Pacific, Naval Submarine Training Center Pacific, Tactical Training Group Pacific, Defense Acquisition University, Naval Recruiting District Southwest, Joint Tactical Radio Program Office, Naval Health Research Center, and the Navy’s Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Department.
