The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), headquartered in Suitland, Maryland, is the United States Navy's oldest intelligence organization, established in 1882. ONI has played a pivotal role in gathering and analyzing maritime intelligence to support naval operations, from World War I and II through the Cold War and into the modern era. The unit provides critical intelligence on foreign naval capabilities, technological developments, and maritime security threats, supporting both strategic decision-makers and deployed forces. Today, ONI at Suitland remains at the forefront of naval intelligence, leveraging advanced technologies and global partnerships to ensure U.S. maritime superiority.
