Road Trip: Naval Base San Diego, California

Naval Base San Diego, which locals refer to as 32nd Street Naval Station, is the second largest Surface Ship base of the United States Navy and is located in San Diego, California. Naval Base San Diego is the principal homeport of the Pacific Fleet, consisting of over 50 ships and over 190 tenant commands. The base is composed of 13 piers stretched over 977 acres of land and 326 acres of water.

Naval Base San Diego is home port to approximately 54 ships, including 46 U.S. Navy ships, two Littoral Combat Ships, two U.S. Coast Guard cutters, and eight ships of the Military Sealift Command, as well as research and auxiliary vessels. Ashore, the base has approximately 120 separate tenant commands and other Navy support facilities, each having specific and specialized fleet support missions.

Naval Base San Diego is also home to more than 200 separate tenant commands and other Navy support facilities, each having specific and specialized fleet support missions.

Sounds like a fabulous weekend. And sounds like folks there were like here ..... going wild with fireworks. It’s always a rowdy night here but this year was insane. And awesome. LOL

It’s a shame she’s moving away. Guess you’ll just have to fly down to TX every so often to visit.

[luvie]

Howdy, radu!

How was your day? Did you get rain? Is it any cooler?

it was a bit cooler here. Kind of nice. But the rest of the week will be like hell week. LOL!

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

Any chance the slightly cooler weather will stick around a little while?

[PROCON]

I spent the weekend with my sister who is moving soon to Joshua, TX, I’ll miss here a lot but at least Texas is getting another conservative moving in.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, hillarys cankles...we thank you for your service to our country.

[radu]

Well, you answered my question while I was typing it. LOL Sorry to hear the cooler temps aren’t sticking around.

No cooler temps for us and the humidity isn’t dropping this week. No rain today though it looked like it would at any time. Not a fun trip to the store this afternoon. UGH!

[luvie]

Not a chance.Wed—102, Thur & Fri—104, Sat—106. Don’t know about Sunday yet. Tired of it. VERY tired.

Everyone should watch this video of a WWII fighter pilot with his remembrances of WWII and his squad mates and their aircraft:

[luvie]

Thanks for the link. Sounds like a good one.

[radu]

UGH! I feel for y’all. That’s way too hot.

We have 90s ahead all week with the heat index around 100.

I’m ready for Fall. How ‘bout you? LOL

[luvie]

Well, your 100 with all that humidity is probably hotter than my 106. LOL!

I’ve been ready for fall since the first 100 day in May. LOL!

[luvie]

That’s awesome news! Where is Joshua? I’ve never heard of it. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Blue are enjoying the summer. Has Penny recovered from all the noise?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Considering, how did your Monday go?

[PROCON]

Joshua is 20 miles south of Ft. Worth, moving to get closer to grandkids.

[radu]

It’s mighty uncomfortable, that’s for sure. Can’t cool off when sweat can’t evaporate.

[luvie]

Well, gosh, I’ve probably been through there and never thought about the name. It’s nice in that area. You’ll have to come down to see her, right?

[luvie]

That’s for sure. Thank goodness for refrigerated air! Pulls some of that humidity out. Ours would be dripping on the patio in GA. And we had to clean the filter all the time to keep it from getting moldy.

[mylife]

SD, Pearl harbor, Guam, Yokosuka..

[radu]

You betcha! Life is pretty miserable without A/C. Been there, done that, and had a few close calls with heat exhaustion ..... in my apartments. With fans.

They do help dry the air a little too.

But I’ll deal with muggy in order to be surrounded by green any day. LOL! I’d have a very tough time living in the desert.
