Naval Amphibious Base Coronado

I work here and traffic on the way here gets pretty bad depends on what time you come here. Especially in the morning.

Panda express n McDonald’s Nex mini mart are all close by. It’s a small base mostly things are nearby. Also found this us navy us coast guard Vietnam unit memorial on the south west area. And also a recreation rental facility

I once saw a bunch of SEALs (at least I assumed they were) on a training exercise, hopping off of a couple of helicopters on a beach along I-​5, near this base, on my way to San Diego for a day trip. Cool as heck. Hooyah!

Stayed at the Navy Gateway Inn here. It was a very nice room, a little different. No AC, but was $ 42 for the night which is incredibly cheap for Coronado.

If you are a Frog-​hog like me, there is much to see under the category of eye-​candy. Marine Recon and SEALs doing manly things like trotting their RIBs all over the place, getting wet and sandy. Good times.

The Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) Coronado is located just across tha bay from San Diego, CA. The base is situated on the Silver Strand, between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean. NAB Coronado is a major shore command, supporting 27 tenant commands, and is the West Coast focal point for special and expeditionary warfare training and operations. The amphibious base houses Commander Naval Surface Force, US Pacific Fleet, responsible for the training, maintenance and crews of the approximately 90 ships of the Pacific Fleet and Commander Naval Special Warfare Command, US Pacific Fleet. Also located there are most of the Naval Expeditionary and Naval Special Warfare units of the Pacific Fleet as well as the famed Navy Parachute Team, the Leap Frogs.
The Naval Amphibious Base was renamed in 1946, although it had been in operation as the Amphibious Training Base since 1943. It is host to thirty commands including the headquarters for the Naval Special Warfare Command, a second echelon command which is headquarters for America’s elite maritime special operations forces — the U.S. Navy SEALs and Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewmen.
