Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples

History: With the build up of Soviet forces to the East, and with Allied Forces Southern Europe (AFSouth) fulfilling the land, sea and air role for NATO's right flank, it became necessary to establish a naval support unit ashore. This was done on October 3, 1951 by establishing Headquarters, Support Activities (HEDSUPPACT). Its primary mission was to support AFSouth, and later, the SIXTH Fleet. In December 1952, the Commanding Officer was re-designated as Commander, and in August, 1953 the support unit became Commander, Subordinate command, U.S. Naval Forces Eastern Atlantic / Commander, Headquarters Support Activities, Naples Italy. In November 1957, it was re-designated U.S. Naval Activities, Italy and a new activity was established out of COMHEDSUPPACT, the U.S. Naval Support Activity, Naples (NAVSUPPACT Naples). At this time the officer in command had primary duty as Commander, U.S. Naval Support Activity, Naples.
