About North Island Naval Air Station-Halsey Field

Naval Air Station North Island, also known as NAS North Island (IATA: NZY, ICAO: KNZY, FAA LID: NZY), is a United States Navy installation located at the north end of the Coronado peninsula on San Diego Bay in San Diego, California. It is part of Naval Base Coronado (NBC), the largest aerospace-industrial complex in the United States Navy. NAS North Island is the home port of several aircraft carriers of the United States Navy. The commanding officer of NAS North Island (NASNI) is also the Commanding Officer, Naval Base Coronado (NBC). As such, they command or administer NASNI and seven other naval facilities: Naval Amphibious Base Coronado (NABC); Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach; Silver Strand Training Complex; Remote Training Site, Warner Springs; Mountain Warfare Training Camp Michael Monsoor; Camp Morena; and Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island. NBC, with only its commands in the metropolitan San Diego area, brackets the city of Coronado from the entrance to San Diego Bay to the Mexican border. NAS North Island itself is host to 23 aviation squadrons and 80 additional tenant commands and activities—one of which, the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, is San Diego's largest aerospace employer.
