The Naval Base Kitsap is a naval base of the US Navy on the Kitsap Peninsula (part of the Olympic Peninsula ) in the State of Washington . It was created in 2004 by merging the former Naval Station Bremerton with the submarine base Naval Submarine Base Bangor . The base serves as the naval command of the naval forces of the Navy Region Northwest and as a home port for surface forces and submarines and provides numerous accommodations for personnel and supply and maintenance facilities for Navy units. The Naval Base Kitsap consists of various military facilities in Bremerton , Bangor and Keyport.

In 2005 the base received the annual Commander in Chief's Award for Installation Excellence for the US Navy's best base.
