A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF MAYPORT NAVAL STATION

The presence of sailors in the present day Mayport Air Station can be traced back 400 years. Thanks to its access to inland waterways as well as the open ocean, Mayport is a valuable asset to the Navy and this geographical positioning is the prime reason behind the establishment of this station here. In 1938, a proposal for a South- Eastern naval air base was mooted and this location was considered to be an ideal one. By 1942, the Mayport Naval Air Station was commissioned as a U.S. Naval Section Base. Mayport air station personnel were part of the troops that were involved in the Operation Desert Shield in 1991 and Operation Desert Fox in 1998.
