Naval Station Mayport (NS Mayport) was commissioned
in 1942. Covering more than 3,400 acres, it is the third largest fleet concentration area in the continental United States. Currently, NS Mayport’s harbor is capable of holding 34 ships and has an 8,000-foot runway that can handle any DoD aircraft. The naval station has more than 70 tenant commands, four helicopter squadrons and 18 ships.
In 2013, Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) will bring
more than 2,000 Sailors and families into the area. USS New York arrives in the last quarter of calendar year 2013. In 2014, USS Iwo Jima and USS Fort McHenry will arrive in Mayport.
The Navy's $1.7 billion Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay
(NSB Kings Bay), located just 35 miles north of Jacksonville in Camden County, Ga., is considered a part of the Jacksonville military community. The 17,000-acre installation is the only Navy base on the east coast capable of supporting the Trident II (D-5) Missile, an integral part of our nation's strategic deterrence program. Currently, the base berths eight Ohio-class submarines and employs more than 9,000 military and civilian personnel.
