Location
San Diego, United States
Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI), also known as Halsey Field, is a United States Navy installation located on the northern end of the Coronado peninsula in San Diego, California. It is one of the oldest and largest naval air stations in the United States, serving as the homeport for multiple aircraft carrier air wings and numerous naval aviation squadrons. The station is a restricted military facility and is not open to commercial passenger traffic. It serves as a critical hub for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviation operations on the West Coast, hosting fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and carrier-based units. NASNI is part of Naval Base Coronado, a consolidated complex of Navy installations in the San Diego area. The field is named in honor of Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey Jr., one of the most prominent U.S. Navy commanders of World War II.
