The base was originally located in the Kishon camp during the navyâÂÂs early years, and on 6 July 1999, its gradual relocation began to the "HaHotrim" Camp, south of Mount Carmel. HaHotrim also serves as the Haifa District headquarters of the Home Front Command.
Role
It allows the navy to fight continuously without interruptions. The base is responsible for the procurement, maintenance and supply of equipment and materials, on an ongoing basis, and for its operational functions. It is also responsible for the material arrangements necessary for Shipbuilding. It also handles weaponry and ammunition accounting. An Engine workshop of the Israeli Naval Shipyards is also located on the base, where staff conducts ship repairs. It also garrisons the MFTAH Unit.
