About North Island NAS

Naval Air Station North Island (NAS North Island) sits at the tip of the Coronado peninsula and is a key part of Naval Base Coronado. It’s known as the birthplace of naval aviation, officially recognized in 1963 by the House Armed Services Committee.

From here, 23 fixed- and rotary-wing squadrons launch daily. The base supports two homeported aircraft carriers along with roughly 80 tenant commands, making it one of the Navy’s busiest aviation hubs. Read on to find out how to transition into your new home at NAS North Island.
