Naval Station Newport (NAVSTA Newport) is a United States Navy installation located in the city of Newport and the town of Middletown, on Aquidneck Island in Newport County, Rhode Island, some 33 miles southeast of Providence, RI.

==History ==
The United States Department of the Navy officially founded the Newport Training Station in 1883, but the legwork between the state of Rhode Island and the US Navy dates back to the late 1870's. The Training Station was intended to provide education for 750 male students for a ten month period, initially taking place solely on the water, but by 1887 had fully transitioned to shore-based class rooms. During the Civil War, the US Naval Academy was temporarily moved from Annapolis, Maryland to Newport to avoid any potential conflicts relating to the insurgency. Naval training ships, including the USS Constitution, USS Santee and USS John Adams were also moved to Newport Harbor during the conflict to train midshipmen for the Union. By World War I, the Naval Training Station had grown into one of the top educational facilities in the Navy, with more than 65,000 sailors training for jobs ranging from yeoman and fireman to musician and commissary worker. During World War II, more than half a million recruits trained in Newport, and rows of (long vanished) barracks were built to house these sailors at Coddington Point. There were varying degrees of growth, expansion, consolidation, and realignment between 1946 and the time the Naval Base was re-designated as Naval Station Newport in 1998. Piers 1 and 2 at Newport's Coddington Cove berthed Navy ships until 1973, when the Shore Establishment Realignment program relocated all Newport-based navy ships to southern ports.
