Naval Hospital Yokosuka was established in 1950 to serve the United States Navy and allied forces in the Western Pacific region. Located at Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan, it played a critical role in providing medical care during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, treating both combat casualties and military families. Over the decades, the hospital expanded its capabilities, supporting humanitarian missions and joint exercises with Japanese and allied forces. Today, Naval Hospital Yokosuka remains a key medical facility for U.S. forces in the Indo-Pacific, offering advanced healthcare and supporting regional security and readiness.
