The Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) is a United States Navy base located near the Ventura County cities of Oxnard and Port Hueneme. The base was officially created in 2000 through the merger of the Naval Air Station Point Mugu and the Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme. NBVC includes three major facilities located at Point Mugu, Port of Hueneme, and San Nicolas Island. NBVC is the largest employer in Ventura County employing nearly 19,000 Navy and civilian personnel. The NBVC provides the U.S. Pacific Fleet with a deep water port, air fields, and rail transportation. It is a major asset.

Port of Hueneme

The Port of Hueneme, located in the city of Port Hueneme on 120 acres, is the only deep water harbor between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Located in Ventura County on the Santa Barbara Channel, the port complex facilitates international shipping and is an operating facility of the Naval Base Ventura County. The commercial port operations have five deep-water berths, which makes the Port of Hueneme a major port. The facility, which opened in 1940, is owned jointly by the Oxnard Harbor District and the United States Navy.
