SAN DIEGO \u2013 Demonstrating the Chief of Naval Operations\u2019 strategic vision of Excellence Ashore, Naval Base San Diego (NBSD) has been recognized as a premier warfighting platform, earning the 2025 Shore Battle Efficiency (Battle \u201cE\u201d) Award in the Fleet Concentration Area\/Extra Large Installation category. The award reinforces a central tenet of CNO Adm. Daryl Caudle\u2019s C-Note #6: Navy combat power is generated not only at sea, but in the foundries ashore where readiness is built, Sailors are supported, and the Fleet is sustained.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ability to project force, sustain combat operations, and win our Nation\u2019s wars begins not at sea, but ashore\u2014at the pier, on the flightline, in the shipyard, and at the gates of our installations,\u201d said Caudle. \u201cOur shore enterprise generates the readiness, capacity, and endurance that makes maritime dominance possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the Navy\u2019s largest principal homeport on the West Coast and the principal homeport of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, NBSD exemplifies that vision. The installation supports more than 59 U.S. Navy ships, approximately 250 tenant commands, and tens of thousands of Sailors, civilians, reservists, and family members who power fleet operations every day. NBSD\u2019s role extends far beyond installation support\u2014it is a direct contributor to warfighting readiness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Foundry is more than a concept\u2014it is how we generate combat power every day,\u201d said Capt. Brian C. Bungay, commanding officer, NBSD. \u201cEvery pier, every facility, and every member of our team contributes directly to warfighter readiness. We are not adjacent to the fight\u2014we are part of the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
That success is made possible by the daily efforts of Sailors, civilians, and contractors across the installation. From maintenance and force protection to customer service and waterfront operations, every task contributes to the larger mission. What may appear routine\u2014a completed work order, a secure gate operation, or a watch properly stood\u2014helps keep the Pacific Fleet ready to answer the call.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mission is to deliver ready forces to the Fleet, and that starts ashore,\u201d Bungay said. \u201cBy demanding excellence across our installation\u2014from infrastructure to service\u2014we ensure our warfighters have what they need to deploy, persist, and win.\u201d<\/p>\n
C-Note #6 challenges Navy installations to pursue excellence wherever combat power is generated. At NBSD, that standard is being met through innovation, measurable performance, and a workforce committed to readiness. The message is clear: warfighting starts at the Foundry, and excellence ashore is essential to victory at sea.<\/p>\n
Established in 1922, NBSD is the Navy\u2019s largest principal West Coast homeport and the principal homeport of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, supporting more than 60 combatant and auxiliary surface ships and more than 250 tenant commands.<\/p>\n
