NTS Keyport WA

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport, commonly referred to as NTS Keyport (Naval Torpedo Station Keyport), was established in 1914 in Keyport, Washington, to serve as a torpedo overhaul and testing facility for the U.S. Navy. Over the decades, its mission expanded to include research, development, and testing of undersea warfare systems, including torpedoes, unmanned underwater vehicles, and mine countermeasures. During World War II and the Cold War, Keyport played a crucial role in advancing undersea weaponry technology and supporting fleet readiness. Today, NUWC Division Keyport remains a vital center for undersea warfare expertise, supporting the Navy’s technological edge and operational effectiveness in maritime domains.
