COMCRUDESGRU1, 32ND STREET SAN DIEGO

**COMCRUDESGRU 1** (Commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Group 1) was a major U.S. Navy surface warfare command headquartered at Naval Base San Diego, 32nd Street. Established in the latter half of the 20th century, the group was responsible for the operational readiness, training, and deployment of assigned cruisers and destroyers in the Pacific Fleet. Over the decades, COMCRUDESGRU 1 played a pivotal role in major exercises, deployments, and real-world operations, including support for carrier strike groups and independent surface action groups. The command was eventually re-designated as Carrier Strike Group 1 (CSG-1) in the early 2000s, reflecting evolving naval organizational structures.
