A Naval Base is a facility that supports naval operations and activities. It typically includes docks, shipyards, and storage areas for ships and submarines. These bases provide essential services such as maintenance, repair, and logistics for naval vessels, ensuring they are ready for deployment. Naval bases are often strategically located near coastlines or important waterways to facilitate quick access to the ocean. They may also house personnel, training facilities, and equipment necessary for naval operations. Examples of notable naval bases include Naval Station Norfolk in the United States and HMNB Portsmouth in the United Kingdom.
