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. The base is a workplace for over 35,000 military, civilian and contract personnel. Additionally, the base has rooms to house more than 4,500 men and women in modern apartment-like barracks, including Pacific Beacon, a new state-of-the-art residence located on Naval Base San Diego.

The Installation Program Director (IPD) is responsible for the administration and technical supervision of all on-site military and civilian employees in the program and acts as the liaison between the Port Operations Region Program Director (RPD) and the Naval Base Commanding Officer.

Yeah, ripped off again, but I got plenty of light shows online over the weekend, especially last night.
Based on the forecast, there’ll be more chances for those light shows the next several days. That stretch from TX to MN isn’t getting a break just yet.

Gotta pay attention. You don’t want to miss out on chances to relax on the patio while the weather’s still nice. LOL

I’m outta here. Get the cat stuff done and hit the pillows that are calling my name. It’s been a long day and the sound of the rain also lulling me to sleep.

Catch ya tomorrow for the quiz.

[luvie]

Nighty-night. I’m on my way too. See ya tomorrow! Hope you enjoy your down-day! And your back is better by morning.

[E.G.C.]

Yep and it's even worse in other places like Sulphur for example. You've probably seen all the news stories about this. Some National media outlets sent reporters to cover it.

We'll see what happens the next few days. Hopefully not as bad as it was this past weekend.

“I really and truly thank you for your service, spel!”

HEY! What are you trying to do? Make me cry? ;-)

[luvie]

HeyHeyHey, Early Birds!
What a fun Road Trip we've had!
San Diego is beautiful...all those navy ships.
Hope all y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
Gonna be a hot 93° here. Ugh!
What's it like in your corner of the world?
(((hugs)))

[luvie]

Duuuuude.......

I could DO that? Wow!

[luvie]

Glad y'all had fun! He must have had a great time at the lake...look at that happy face!

[radu]

OOF!! Too hot there! Thankfully, it’s not nearly as hot here. Partly cloudy and 77 at the moment. Last night’s pounding rain left 2 inches in the rain gauge.

[luvie]

Yes, it’s 92 right now. Bah! And the AC is going strong. Up goes the electricity bills!

77 sounds just perfect! And 2 inches of rain?? Wow! I’m sooooo jealous!

[luvie]

Now!

[radu]

It sounds like summer’s making an early appearance down there. Ugh! We’ll have low to upper 80s the next week, which is a little above normal but not too bad. They did take rain out of the forecast for tomorrow and Thursday but Friday looks to be messy.

I was surprised when I emptied the rain gauge this afternoon. That was a lot more than I expected. No wonder the corn made a noticeable jump overnight.

I thought about opening a couple of windows until I stepped outside. Nope. Immediate sneeze.

[RandallFlagg]

OH! My ship (USS PELELIU) was ported there! I served on her from ‘93 - ‘97.
