The antenna was used to provide direction finding, primary communication links for U.S. Navy submarines. the antenna is still in place, even though it was scheduled to be removed in fiscal year 2007. Presently the base is subordinate to Naval Base Coronado and commanded by that base's Commanding Officer.
