Yokosuka Japan

Yokosuka is America's most important naval facility in the Western Pacific. The 17 ships in Japan make up the KITTY HAWK aircraft carrier battle group in Yokosuka.

Having ships in this strategic location gives a great deal of capability for the dollar because the Japanese government funds over 70% of total US military support expenses as host nation support, which totaled approximately $5 Billion in 1998. This strategic positioning makes them fully capable of providing initial and substantial response to other theaters.

Yokosuka has 18 ship berths, five tugboats, and numerous anchorages, as well as the only degaussing range in the western pacific.

Fleet Activities, Yokosuka boasts the largest and best of everything the Navy has to offer, with 23,000 military and civilian personnel. COMFLEACT Yokosuka comprises 568 acres and is located at the entrance of Tokyo Bay, 43 miles south of Tokyo and approximately 18 miles south of Yokohama.
