NAVCOMMSTA Nea Makri Greece

NAVCOMMSTA Nea Makri, Greece, officially known as U.S. Naval Communications Station, Nea Makri, was established in the early 1950s as part of the United States’ efforts to enhance communications capabilities in the eastern Mediterranean during the Cold War. Located about 25 kilometers northeast of Athens, the station provided critical communications support to the U.S. Sixth Fleet and NATO operations in the region. It served as a key node for secure naval communications, cryptographic operations, and high-frequency radio transmissions. The station was operational until its closure in 1991, when shifting strategic priorities and advances in communications technology led to the consolidation of U.S. Navy facilities in Europe.
