Seal Beach NWS

Since World War Two the base has evolved into the Navy’s primary West Coast ordnance storage, loading and maintenance installation. Cruisers, destroyers, frigates and medium-sized amphibious assault ships are loaded with missiles, torpedoes, countermeasures devices and conventional ammunition at the facility’s 1,000 foot-long wharf. In addition, larger ships can be accommodated at a protected explosive anchorage located in nearby Long Beach Harbor. Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach personnel also perform maintenance on some types of torpedoes and missiles. An average of 80 vessels are loaded or unloaded each year.
