COMNAVTELCOM

**COMNAVTELCOM** stands for the **Naval Telecommunications Command**, a key component of the United States Navy’s communications infrastructure. Established in 1968, COMNAVTELCOM was responsible for managing, operating, and maintaining the Navy’s global telecommunications and information systems. The command oversaw shore-based communications stations and provided critical support for fleet operations, intelligence, and command and control. In the late 1990s, as information technology evolved, COMNAVTELCOM was reorganized and its functions were gradually merged into the Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NAVNETSPAOPSCOM), reflecting the Navy’s increasing focus on network-centric warfare and cyber operations.
