Naval Base San Diego

Our Mission
To deliver the highest standard of support and quality of services to our Force and their families. 

Our Vision
To be the U.S. Navy's premier installation for enhancing the readiness of our Force and their families. 

Our Philosophy
One Team, One Fight!

San Diego is a high cost of living area, especially in terms of real estate. Help in managing high costs is available through Fleet and Family Support Center, FFSC, which offers a variety of financial classes including budgeting, home buying and investing classes. In order to make a clinical counseling appointment at any FFSC San Diego location, call CNRSW Centralized Scheduling at 1-866-923-6478.

Childcare in the San Diego area is in high demand. Our best recommendation is to register for childcare as soon as you have orders to San Diego. There are two types of Navy Sponsored Child Care available in the San Diego area. The first option is the on-base child care facilities or Child Development Centers (CDC). Please note they are not located at all area installations. The second option is the Navy's network of in-home child care providers, who are licensed and regulated by the CDC as well as the State of California. More information about FFSC Child and Youth Programs can be found at NavyLifeSW.

Defense Service Network (DSN) Dialing Instructions

The DSN is the provider of long-distance communications service for the Department of Defense (DoD). Every installation has a special DSN number and the numbers vary by world-wide location. In order to place a call using DSN, the caller must be using a DSN-capable military phone on an installation. Cell phones cannot dial DSN numbers. When dialing a DSN number from/to CONUS installations as well as Alaska and Hawaii, it is unnecessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. The DSN area code is required when dialing to/from overseas locations.
