USNR Port Newark N.J.

The USNR Port Newark, N.J. was a United States Navy Reserve unit located at the busy maritime hub of Port Newark, New Jersey. Established during World War II, the unit supported the mobilization and training of naval reservists who were vital to the war effort, especially in logistics and port operations. Throughout the Cold War and into the late 20th century, USNR Port Newark continued to serve as a key reserve training center, preparing sailors for both active duty assignments and homeland defense missions. The unit played an important role in supporting fleet operations and maintaining readiness for conflicts and emergencies until its eventual deactivation as part of broader military restructuring.
