Naval Base Coronado

Naval Base Coronado (NBC) is a consolidated Navy installation encompassing eight military facilities stretching from San Clemente Island, located seventy miles west of San Diego, California, to the La Posta Mountain Warfare Training Facility and Camp Morena, located sixty miles east of San Diego.

Organization
In 1997, Naval Base Coronado was created, incorporating seven separate Naval installations under one Commanding Officer. Those facilities include: Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI); Naval Amphibious Base Coronado (NAB); Outlying Field Imperial Beach (OLIB); Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island (SCI); Silver Strand Training Complex (SSTC), formerly known as the Naval Radio Receiving Facility; Camp Michael Monsoor (CMM); and the Remote Training Site, Warner Springs (SERE).

These seven facilities encompass more than 57,000 acres (230 km²) and make NBC the largest command in the southwest region of the U.S.

Employing over 36,000 military and civilian personnel, NBC accounts for over 30% of the Region's total workforce, and has the largest workforce in San Diego County.

Controversy
"The Navy plans to spend $600,000 for “camouflage” landscaping and rooftop adjustments so that 1960s-era barracks, at the Naval Base Coronado near San Diego will no longer look like a Nazi Swastika (卐) from the air. The resemblance went unnoticed by the public for decades until it was spotted in aerial views on Google Earth." (exact co-ordinates 32.67657°N, -117.15827°W)
