    New U.S. Navy Installation in Hampton Roads - Naval Support Activity Portsmouth

    As of Oct. 1, Naval Support Activity--Portsmouth (NSAP) is now an established installation. Formerly a part of Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), NSAP is now in alignment with other similar installations under Commander, Naval Installations Command and ensures NNSY leadership can more effectively focus on supporting fleet needs. As the Navy’s newest installation in Hampton Roads, NSA Portsmouth provides Base Operating Support (BOS) infrastructure for all tenant commands to include those at Norfolk Naval Shipyard, St. Juliens Creek Annex, Scott Center Annex, St. Helena Annex, and residents at New Gosport, and Stanley Court Public Private Venture housing areas. Services previously managed by NNSY that are now under NSA Portsmouth include port operations; emergency management services; fire and emergency services; force protection; explosive safety; environmental compliance; utilities; unaccompanied and family housing; child and youth programs; and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) functions, among others. NSA Portsmouth’s mission is to provide quality customer service while ensuring all regional fleet, fighter, and family readiness objectives are met. NSAP executes the Navy’s mission to provide efficient and cost-effective shore installation management services and support. Base Operating Services are also provided to the host command and installation employees supporting and enhancing Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) maintenance availabilities by performing work converting, overhauling, repairing, conducting nuclear refueling/defueling, and drydocking for all types of Navy ships.
