Naval Air Station North Island
Naval Air Station North Island, also known as NAS North Island (IATA: NZY, ICAO: KNZY, FAA LID: NZY), is a United States Navy installation located at the north end of the Coronado peninsula on San Diego Bay in San Diego, California. It is part of Naval Base Coronado (NBC), the largest aerospace-industrial complex in the United States Navy. NAS North Island is the home port of several aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.
The commanding officer of NAS North Island (NASNI) is also the Commanding Officer, Naval Base Coronado (NBC). As such, they command or administer NASNI and seven other naval facilities: Naval Amphibious Base Coronado (NABC); Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach; Silver Strand Training Complex; Remote Training Site, Warner Springs; Mountain Warfare Training Camp Michael Monsoor; Camp Morena; and Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island.
NBC, with only its commands in the metropolitan San Diego area, brackets the city of Coronado from the entrance to San Diego Bay to the Mexican border. NAS North Island itself is host to 23 aviation squadrons and 80 additional tenant commands and activities—one of which, the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, is San Diego's largest aerospace employer.
NAS North Island also operates two other airfields in the Southern California region. One is Naval Auxiliary Landing Facility (NALF) San Clemente Island, located approximately 70 miles (110 km) northwest of San Diego in the Channel Islands. The other is Naval Outlying Landing Field (NOLF) Imperial Beach. Formerly an independent naval air station, NOLF Imperial Beach is located in the city of Imperial Beach, on the U.S.-Mexico border, 10 miles (16 km) south of NAS North Island. The air station was known as Ream Field in the 1950s and 1960s.
NAS North Island resembles a small city in its facility content and its operations. It has its own police and fire departments, as well as advanced military security stations. It has large factory-type buildings which comprise the Naval Aviation Depot, employing 3,300 civilians, and its own commissary, Navy Exchange, and housing units. Recreation facilities include officer, chief petty officer and enlisted clubs, movie theater, golf course, tennis courts, bowling alley, parks and beaches.
Its airfield has over 230 stationed aircraft, and its quay wall is homeport to three aircraft carriers: USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Carl Vinson, and USS Theodore Roosevelt. Additionally, the base was home to the Navy's only Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles, Mystic (DSRV-1) and Avalon (DSRV-2). The DSRV motor vessel support ships are also homeported here.[citation needed]
North Island is headquarters for four major military flag staffs including:[citation needed]
With all the ships in port, the population of the station is nearly 35,000 active duty military, selected reserve military, and civilian personnel. Department of Defense (DoD) contractors perform transportation flights from the air station to NALF San Clemente Island. Contractors also provide tactical training warfare for the DoD in joint efforts with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. These aircraft include C-26 Metroliner, Learjet, Gulfstream, and Twin Otter aircraft.[citation needed]
