ABOUT
Naval Support Facility (NSF) Anacostia was a United States Naval Base in Anacostia, Washington, D.C.. On 1 October 2010 the base was conjoined with the adjacent Bolling Air Force Base to form Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. NSF Anacostia fell under the command of Naval Support Activity Washington.
History
The Navy began testing sea planes at this facility in 1918 and it eventually became a naval air station supporting conventional aircraft. Located immediately north of Bolling Air Force Base, NAS Anacostia remained in service as an active naval air station until 1962, when its runways were deactivated concurrent with Bolling's due to traffic pattern issues with nearby Washington National Airport.
