 Welcome to Naval Base Kitsap. NBK is the third largest and arguably the most complex naval installation in the United States. Navy activities on the Kitsap Peninsula started in 1891 when the Puget Sound Navy Yard was established at Bremerton. Naval Base Kitsap was formed in 2004 by combining five separate installations. Naval Station Bremerton, Naval Submarine Base Banger, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport, Manchester Fuel Depot, and Jackson Park Housing, which includes Naval Hospital Bremerton. Today the base spans more than 12,000 acres and is home to more than 80 tenant organizations. Our biggest tenants include Puget Sound Naval Shipyard with the only aircraft carrier capable dry dock on the West Coast, Submarine Group 9 and Submarine Development Squadron 5 with more than a dozen submarines with ballistic missile, guided missile, and fast attack capabilities, two aircraft carriers, and three research and development operations. We are also the home to Commander Carrier Strike Group 3 and Commander Navy Region Northwest, which oversees all naval installation shore activities in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Think of NBK like a small city. We have public works, law enforcement, and emergency services, housing communities and parks, shopping, gyms, recreation, and everything in between. The Navy is also a key contributor to the local economy. More than 34,000 service members, federal civilian personnel, and defense contractors make up the workforce. According to the most recent economic study, the Navy contributed $4 billion in total economic activity to the Kitsap region. Naval Base Kitsap's influence stretches far beyond our fence line. Our mutual aid agreements contribute to hundreds of incident responses every year. In fire and emergency services, explosive ordinance disposal, harbor protection, anti-terrorism force protection, military working dogs, and unmanned aerial systems with our civilian first responder partners throughout the Kitsap Peninsula. More than two million barrels of fuel are distributed from Manchester Fuel Depot every year to joint military forces, intergovernment agencies, and even our Canadian allies. And Naval Base Kitsap continues to be a partner in an environmental stewardship with more than 15,000 acres of land and shoreline protected from development, including 100 miles of shoreline along the Hood Canal. We have over a decade of continuous awards from the Secretary of the Navy for energy and water management, and we are a Department of Defense Sustainability Award winner. Warfighters and support organizations across MBK have a variety of jobs, but we all support the U.S. Navy's mission to maintain, train, and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas.
