Road Trip: Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California

Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach is a United States Navy weapons and munitions loading, storage and maintenance facility located in Seal Beach, California with detachments in Concord, Fallbrook, and San Diego, all also in California.

The command exists to provide base operating support to the Navy's ordnance mission. Command and tenant personnel provide munitions receipt, segregation, inspection, maintenance, storage, issue, and assessment services to Navy operating forces and other Department of Defense and homeland security entities. Overall, the command supports the provisioning of missiles, torpedoes, and other ordnance to a majority of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

NWS Seal Beach occupies 5,256 acres, has 230 buildings and 128 ammunition magazines providing 589,299 feet of ammunition storage space. Ammunition is moved from storage to the docks on 56 miles of railroad line and 80 miles of road. The base owns 130 pieces of railroad rolling stock and 230 trucks and trailers to move the ammunition which is loaded onto ships using six mobile cranes that can lift up to 90 tons.

The Weapons Station is also home to the West Coast site of the World War II Submarine Memorial. The Memorial is dedicated to the over 3000 submariners who lost their lives in United States submarines in the 52 submarines lost during WWII. There are also plaques dedicated to those who lost their lives in submarine accidents during the Cold War. The Memorial is located outside the main entrance to the Weapons Station on Seal Beach Boulevard and is accessible to the public.

Road Trip Time!

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

AWESOME

military, our allies, and their families.

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Looks like we are in for a rainy day
and then much cooler temps - like 20 degrees cooler.
Which is ok since 80 was too warm for April.
Just wish it would even out a bit, like 70.

Sorry gang; had a busy Monday.
Going to post and then try to answer pings
before others start arriving.
Please stay.

Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

O P E N

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS

Oh no! Not dreaded 35 degree mornings? no...no...no...it’s spring, ok.

(psst...I was in your “goody bag” this morning...took a few things...I’m sure you can tell....hehe)

[MEG33]

I was worried about getting hot too soon...now this.

[left that other site]

As ready as he’ll ever be.

I put him near the beginning so if he gets “bored” (ahem) Mom can take him home.

[beachn4fun]

I usually recognize the ones from my folder, so rest assured the ones I snagged this morning are ones you snagged somewhere else. LOL

Yeah, going from 80 to 50 is not fun...although the early mornings have stayed fairly cool, still...brrr.

[E.G.C.]

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. Thanks so very much for the belated birthday wishes. How’s it going for your this morning?

[beachn4fun]
