Road Trip: Naval Air Station Lemoore, California

Naval Air Station Lemoore or NAS Lemoore is a United States Navy base, located in Kings County and Fresno County, California. Lemoore Station, California, a census-designated place, is located inside the base's borders.

NAS Lemoore is the Navy's newest and largest Master Jet Base. Strike Fighter Wing Pacific, along with its associated squadrons, is home ported there.

NAS Lemoore also hosts four Carrier Air Wings: Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2), Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9), Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11), and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17).

With the transfer of NAS Miramar to the United States Marine Corps, NAS Lemoore now hosts the Navy's entire west coast fighter/attack capability. NAS Lemoore was built “from the ground up” as a Master Jet Base, and has several operational advantages, and relatively few constraints, as a result.

Strike Fighter Wing Pacific with its supporting facilities is home ported here. The primary aircraft based at NAS Lemoore is the F/A-18 Hornet Strike Fighter. In November, 1999, NAS Lemoore received its first F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets, which replaced the F-14 Tomcat in fleet service as an air-superiority fighter and has assumed, in a different configuration, the role of older F/A-18 Strike Fighters.

Currently, there are a total of 175 Hornets and Super Hornets home-based at NAS Lemoore operating from one Fleet Replacement [training] Squadron and fifteen Fleet [operational] Squadrons.

Services include air traffic control, flight scheduling, operation and maintenance of navigational aids, ground approach radar, communications equipment, Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS), emergency arresting gear, and optical landing systems. Additionally, Lemoore provides search and rescue (SAR) and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) services utilizing fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Sad news indeed.

Hey MoJo! I don’t get here often either, but I had to login to say hello to you - and all the rest of the Canteen Crew. I miss you all - I wish time allowed me to be here more often, but work, kids, life - it’s just busy!
