List of United States Navy installations
Wikimedia list article
List of major active US Navy bases, stations and other facilities. Formally established by General Order No 135 (1911), the following primary types of bases are defined:
Naval Station: any establishment for building, manufacturing, docking, repair, supply, or training under the control of the Navy.
Navy Yard: a single establishment for docking, repair, and supply. It may include building and manufacturing facilities. Either alone or with other naval establishments it constitutes a naval station.
Naval Base: is a point from which naval operations may be conducted and which is selected for that purpose. Its essential feature is an adequate anchorage for a fleet with its auxiliaries, preferably sheltered from the sea and fortified against attack. A temporary base would generally be established nearer the theater of war than any permanent base (also referred to as an advanced base). A permanent base would have docking and repair facilities.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of United States Navy installations” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1310930. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1911 and 2024.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
