The city of Yokosuka, Japan, has been the site of a major naval base since Japan began to modernize in mid-19th century. Until the end of World War II, it was the site of a major base for the Japanese Imperial Navy. Since World War II, it has been the site of a major U.S. naval base, with some presence retained by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces.
