NAVSTA Pearl Harbor, HI

Naval Station (NAVSTA) Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was officially established in 1908 as a key U.S. naval base in the Pacific. Its strategic location made it central to American military operations, most notably on December 7, 1941, when it was the site of the infamous Japanese attack that led the United States into World War II. Throughout the war and the Cold War, Pearl Harbor served as a major hub for fleet logistics, repairs, and operations in the Pacific Theater. Today, NAVSTA Pearl Harbor is part of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, continuing its legacy as a vital center for U.S. Navy operations and Indo-Pacific security.
