The 1945 Miami Naval Training Center Navaltars football team represented United States Navy's Miami Naval Training Center (Miami NTC) during the 1945 college football season. Led by second-year head coach Philip S. Fox, the Navaltars compiled a record of 1–3.[1][2] The team ended its season early, in late October, because of transfers and discharges from the service. In its wake, five regular members of the team joined the newly formed Miami Naval Air Station (Miami NAS) team, which began play in early November.[3]
