COMNAVSURFPAC

**COMNAVSURFPAC** (Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet) was established on 1 March 1975 to serve as the principal command responsible for the readiness, training, and equipping of all surface warfare ships in the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The command traces its heritage to earlier Pacific Fleet surface ship commands during World War II, evolving to consolidate destroyers, cruisers, amphibious, and other surface vessels under a single administrative and operational authority. Headquartered at Naval Base San Diego, COMNAVSURFPAC oversees a diverse fleet, including guided-missile destroyers, cruisers, littoral combat ships, and amphibious assault ships. The command plays a vital role in ensuring U.S. naval superiority and freedom of navigation in the Pacific region, supporting global operations and regional security.
