Squadron TWELVE is tasked as tactical development authority for Submarine Forces Atlantic and Pacific. This is a unique responsibility which is dedicated to the formulation and improvement of submarine tactics and to the measurement of the effectiveness of the newest submarines. Beginning in the 1960s many of operational and analytical activities continued to be centered in SubDevRon 12 (formerly known as SubDevGru 2). DevRon 12 was the home of the Tactical Analysis Group (TAG), played a major role in the "Big Daddy" exercise series, and its submarines were also assigned many forward intelligence missions. The TAG was set up to develop analytical techniques for analyzing exercise results and use them to predict operational performance. Big Daddy was an annual, SSN versus SSN ASW exercise which the submarine force used in part to develop and validate the models developed by the TAG. These models could then be used in war planning, in setting force requirements and to assist in the design of new systems. Big Daddy and TAG were key tools for the Navy to use in convincing both itself and the national leadership of the viability of its ASW posture. The TAG also developed into a formidable tool for justifying new submarine development to the civilian leadership, particularly in the years the Office of the Secretary of Defense was infected with enthusiasm for the quantitative methods first introduced by Robert McNamara in the early 1960s. In this capacity, the TAG played a major role in the justification for the Sturgeon, the first SSN class produced in large numbers. DevRon 12 also played a major role in the introduction of new sensor technology. Part of its charter was to test new equipment, but because it also had an operational role, these tests often occurred in real world operations. Once the value of an experimental system was established in this way, it tended to be retained for further use in the DevRon, rather than returned to its manufacturer for further development. This low level melding of the technical and operational communities provided an informal path for new technology like LOFAR and the towed array to be inserted into the submarine force.

We are a regional team dedicated to providing the highest level of base operating support and quality of life services for all operating forces and shore activities on Naval Base Point Loma. http://www.cnrsw.navy.mil/subase2/mission/mission.htm Located in beautiful San Diego California.  Naval Base Point Loma is one of the most diverse and challenging Naval Bases in the CNIC inventory. Consisting of 9 geographically separated complex's to include Subase, DFSP Fuel Farm, Bayside, Topside, Seaside, C3F Complex, Fleet ASW, Fleet Intelligence Training Center Complex, Old Town Complex, Taylor Street Complex, Mt Solidad and Miramar Brig.  NBPL provides shore installation support to more than 64 tenant commands with 22,000 military and civilian personnel and more than 450 unique facilities. NBPL major tenants are Commander Third Fleet, SPAWAR System Center, SPAWAR HQ, Commander Squadron 11, Fleet ASW Command, Fleet ASW Training Center and SEALOGPAC. The Base also plays host to the National Park Services Cabrillo National monument averaging more then 1.2 million visitors annually. As well as Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery who's annual Memorial Day services brings in nearly 10,000 visitors in a single day.   http://www.cnrsw.navy.mil/subase2 Naval Base Point Loma History The history of Naval Base Point Loma began thousands of years ago when prehistoric peoples and Native Americans inhabited the area. Archeological sites have been dated to as far back as 7000 years ago. The modern history of Point Loma begins in September 1542, when Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo (a Portuguese navigator in the service of Spain) landed here and explored the surrounding area for 6 days. Cabrillo raised the flag of Spain and named the port San Miguel Bay. Sebastian Vizcaino, a Spanish trader who operated between Mexico and the Orient, visited the bay in November 1602. He renamed it San Diego in honor of San Diego de Alcala, a Franciscan lay brother. His records establish the NBPL area as the site of the first Roman Catholic mass to be celebrated in what is now the State of California. A monument in front of the present day Chapel at NBPL commemorates that mass. The Spanish decided to build a fort in the area because the peninsula guarded the only access to the Bay. Completed in 1797, the fort was made of adobe and was armed with a nine-pound cannon. The fort was named Fort Guijarros (Spanish for "cobblestones") because the point was covered with smooth stones. In later years, English-speaking sailors used these stones as ballast for their sailing vessels - thus the name "Ballast Point." Both Fort Guijarros and Ballast Point are California historical landmarks. In February 1852 President Fillmore set aside the southern portion of Point Loma (about 1400 acres) for military purposes. Subsequently, it was assigned to the U.S. Army and named Fort Rosecrans, after General Rosecrans, an 1842 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy. In 1898 the Army built a coast artillery installation on the site which remained active until 1945. In 1959 Fort Rosecrans was turned over to the U.S. Navy. The Navy Submarine Support Facility was established in November 1963 on 280 acres of the land. On November 27, 1974 the base was re-designated a shore command, serving assigned submarines, Submarine Group Five, Submarine Squadron Three, Submarine Development Group One, the Submarine Training Facility and later, Submarine Squadron Eleven. On October 1, 1981 the base was designated as Naval Submarine Base. Starting in April 1995, several commands were decommissioned or their homeports were changed to meet the down-sizing requirements of the Navy. Commands throughout San Diego were regionalized in an effort to provide equal or better base services while managing a reduced budget. The six naval installations on Point Loma were consolidated as Naval Base Point Loma on 1 October, 1998. Current major tenant commands include Commander Third Fleet, Fleet Anti Submarine Warfare Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), SPAWAR Systems Center, Fleet ASW Training Center, Fleet Intelligence Training Cetner pacific, Fleet Combat Training Center Pacific, COMSUBRON ELEVEN, Commander Sealift Logistics Command Pacific, Submarine Training Center Pacific Detachment; four submarines, a floating dry dock (ARCO), and the Navy's Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Department (SARD) . http://www.cnrsw.navy.mil/subase2/history/history.htm The US Navy submersibles SEA CLIFF and TURTLE and ROV ATV were made available for limited academic research through a cooperative arrangement between NOAA and the US Navy's Submarine Development Group One in San Diego, CA.
