Just now i was looking at cities where the EAR attacked and noticed in Stockton there's a main location of this NAV Center, but on their website it also lists a bunch of other locations, a few of which hold interest in this case. Nothing in SoCal. It's possible someone could be transferred periodically from site to site for 6mos-1y? Wonder if they still have records of former people.
MISSION

provide requisite communications for the command, operational control and administration of the Naval Establishment; to manage, operate and maintain
those facilities of the Defense Communications System as assigned; and to perform such other functions as may be directed by the Chief of Naval Operations.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Naval Communication Station Stockton is comprised of the Headquarters, located at Rough and Ready Island, Stockton, California and eleven component activities, widely dispersed geographically.· These include:
1 . Naval Telecommunication Center Bangor
2. Naval Radio Transmitting. Facility Dixon. (under contract operation)
3. Naval Radio Receiving Facility Skaggs Island (under contract operation)
4 . Naval Telecommunication Center Concord
5. Naval Telecommunication Center Mare Island
6. Naval Telecommunication Center Oakland
7. Naval Telecommunication Center Alameda
8. Naval Telecommunication Center Moffett Field
9. Naval Telecommunication Center Monterey
10. Naval Radio Station (T) Jim Creek
11. Naval Telecommunications Command Operations Center Detachment Sunnyvale
HISTORY
The Naval Communication Station (NAVCOMMSTA) Stockton enjoys the distinction of a proud past, dating back to the beginning of Naval Communications. It was first established in 1904 at Mare Island Naval Shipyard as a small radio station built in a converted pigeon loft. It was the only West Coast station of a system that formed the foundation of today's Naval Communications System.
In 1917 the Naval Communication Station, Stockton (then NAVCOMMSTA San Francisco) was established on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay, with Mare Island· acting as the remote transmitting facility for the new station. In 1920 NAVCOMMS'l'A moved to San Francisco, next door to the Twelfth Naval District Headquarters so In 1925 the NAVCOMMSTA moved again, along with Twelfth Naval District Headquarters, to the newly built Marine Corps Supply Depot on Harrison Street in San Francisco.
At that time the Receiver Site was moved to the Hillcrest district in South San Francisco. In l935 the station, in company with the Twelfth Naval District Headquarters; relocated to the new Federal Office Building in downtown San Francisco; and in 1942 Skaggs Island became the new remote Receiver Site; continuous growth and establishment of the fleet communication facilities eventually led to a new transmitting site at Dixon, California. By 1955 it became evident that the quarters in the Federal Office Building in downtown San Francisco were inadequate to cope with modern day communications; and therefore, in 1960, NAVCOMMSTA Headquarters, with all its control facilities for linking the various branches of the command; was moved to Rough and Ready Island, near Stockton, California.
The Station as it now exists has the reputation of being one of the best and most modern of all Naval Communication Stations with a complex consisting of the Headquarters at Stockton, California; Radio Transmitting Facility, Dixon, California; Radio Receiving Facility Skaggs Island, Sonoma, California; and Naval Telecommunication Centers (NTCC's) at Oakland, Monterey, Mare Island, Concord, Bangor, Moffett Field, and Alameda; and NTCOC Sunnyvale. The microwave repeater stations on top of Mt: Diablo and Mt. Vaca tie many of these activities together. Naval Radio Station (T) Jim Creek, Oso, Washington is an Echelon IV activity under NAVCOMMSTA Stockton.
Approximately 360·military and 440 civilian personnel are members of the family called Naval Communication Station Stockton, The station has several mast-type antennas; with an eight-story-tall tower, holding a sixty-foot dish antenna that links the station into a worldwide satellite communication system,
