The King Abdulaziz Naval Base (Arabic: قاعدة الملك عبد العزيز البحرية) (KANB) is a naval base in Al-Sharqiyah, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.[1] It is operated by the Saudi Arabian Navy. The base is located about 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) southeast of Jubail[2] and only 900 metres (0.6 mi) from the shores of the Persian Gulf. It is home to the Eastern Fleet and the Royal Naval Academy.[3] Their Navy Ratings "SK" (Storekeeper) and "YN" (Yeoman) learned basic skills in this school.
RSNF's Western Province counterpart is in Jeddah. It is King Faisal Naval Base (KFNB). King Fahd Naval Academy is located inside this base.
