CFB Esquimalt, Naval military training area in Esquimalt, Canada
CFB Esquimalt extends across 41 square kilometers at Vancouver Island's southern tip, featuring docking facilities and maintenance infrastructure for naval operations.
The Royal Navy established this military installation in 1855, which later transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1910 as a permanent Pacific Coast naval base.
The Esquimalt Naval and Military Museum displays naval artifacts in a structure from 1891, preserving the maritime heritage of the Pacific Coast.
The base maintains 863 work buildings, 706 residential units, and employs over 7,000 military and civilian personnel across 23 different locations.
