National City California sits adjacent to Naval Base San Diego — the largest naval base on the US West Coast and homeport for numerous surface combatants, amphibious ships, and auxiliaries. The city hosts significant shipbuilding and ship repair operations supporting the Navy. National City's industrial waterfront lies on San Diego Bay with earthquake and tsunami risk from Pacific seismic events. The proximity to the US-Mexico border creates cross-border security considerations. The concentration of naval assets in this corridor makes it a significant target for adversary pre-positioning.
