Naval Undersea Warfare Center

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Keyport is the Navy's sole repair and maintenance depot for torpedoes and undersea mobile targets. In this capacity, Keyport - with remote sites in Hawaii, Southern California and Hawthorne, Nevada - provides test and evaluation, depot maintenance and repair, In-Service Engineering and fleet industrial support for torpedoes and other undersea warfare systems including mobile mines, unmanned underwater vehicles and countermeasures.

Further efforts include responsibility for undersea combat systems and foreign military sales to many Allied countries. To support these activities, Keyport maintains and operates three underwater, three-dimensional tracking range sites with the capability to conduct vendor acceptance and in-service testing and evaluation of undersea weapons.

 At Keyport's main site, some 200 of the 1,500 resident civilian and military personnel, together with more than 160,000 square feet of industrial shops, are dedicated to processes that span prototype development to manufacturing and refurbishment of small components and entire systems. Programs in this area include R&D Test bed support, Flexible Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Electronics Data Interface, Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing Initiatives and Manufacturing.

Keyport is also home to the Naval Undersea Museum. Their mission is to preserve, collect and interpret naval undersea history, science and operations for the benefit of the U.S. Navy and the people of the United States.
