changi naval base

Changi Naval Base (CNB) is the latest and most modern naval facility of the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). Located on 1.28 km² (0.50 sq mi) of reclaimed land, it was officially opened on 21 May 2004 by Goh Chok Tong, the second prime minister of Singapore. CNB has an underground ammunition depot that is fully automated to allow ammunition to be loaded onto the ships, cutting down on manpower demands. The base has a fibre optic broadband network for information management. An automated warehousing system is utilised to store thousands of items needed by the RSN. The base is environment-friendly as lights switch off automatically in unoccupied rooms. In addition, seawater is used in the air-conditioning system. Its 6.2 km (3.9 mi) berthing space can accommodate an aircraft carrier and is often used by visiting ships of the United States Navy http://www.mindef.gov.sg/navy/assets_bases.html. Currently, the submarines, amphibious transport docks and missile gunboats are based at CNB.
