 military, United States Navy
Naval Station Mayport is the homeport of a large contingent of Littoral Combat Ships, and Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers. The Naval Air Station is also home to an extensive amount of Anti Submarine (HSL) helicopter squadrons.

The flat, yet challenging base golf course was host to the Mayport open back in the 70's and 80's. The beach is known as one of the best areas along the Atlantic coast to find sharks teeth.

Comments

  • The political reality that keeps Mayport Naval Base open in this era of base closings is the deep-seeded fear among USN Admirals that the Atlantic Fleet could be taken out in a Pearl Harbor-style attack on Hampton Roads.
