What's that naval base on the 405S down to San Diego?

The one with all those hovercrafts and stuff?

edit: Pendleton is off the 5. The 405 becomes the 5 at the end of Irvine, 45 minutes north of SD.

Off the 405 would be NWS Seal Beach. None of the others mentioned are near the 405...

I don't think it's Pendleton. It has a few hangars and a bunch of these: http://www.histarmar.com.ar/InfGral/hovercrafts/h8.jpg

I know what you're talking abt...it's the one on the hilly area on the right side of the 5 freeway before reaching Camp Pendleton proper. The compound is surrounded by high concrete walls. I think they did put the units name on it. Like you, I usually get curious when I pass that area.

Yup, it's a hovercraft base or maintenance area for LCAC as the navy folks call them...linky.
