Naval Base Coronado

Naval Base Coronado is a military installation near San Diego that combines multiple separate facilities across a vast region. The base includes specialized training centers for different branches of naval operations and serves as a major hub for fleet activities throughout the Pacific area.

The installation was established in 1997 when eight separate naval facilities were consolidated under unified command. This reorganization aimed to streamline operations and improve coordination among the different units and squadrons.

The military installation provides training for special warfare operations and serves as the principal center for helicopter squadrons in the Pacific Fleet.

Access to the base is restricted and typically requires authorization and valid identification. Visitors should inquire in advance about which areas may be accessible and what documentation is needed.

Four buildings on the grounds form an unusual geometric pattern visible from above. This distinctive layout led to modifications in the site's landscape design.
