Fleet Computer Programming Center Pacific

The Fleet Computer Programming Center Pacific (FCPCPAC) was established by the United States Navy in the early 1970s to support the growing need for advanced computer software and systems in fleet operations. Headquartered in San Diego, California, FCPCPAC specialized in the development, maintenance, and integration of software for naval command, control, and communications systems across the Pacific Fleet. The center played a key role in modernizing naval information technology, ensuring that U.S. naval forces had reliable and secure digital tools during the Cold War and beyond. Over time, FCPCPAC's mission and personnel were consolidated into broader Navy information technology organizations as part of the service's ongoing efforts to streamline and centralize its computing capabilities.
