As mentioned in other posts NAS Oakland resumed naval air reserve support activities following World War Two. Upon the station's decommissioning in 1961 NARTU Alameda (naval air training unit) was commissioned on board NAS Alameda and assumed the administrative support responsibilities formerly borne by NAS Oakland. NARTU Alameda subsequently became NARU Alameda. Not sure if NARU Alameda was still operational when all NARU's were renamed NAR's.

Over a few beers today with a former Marine and sailor from the Fifties, "NAS
Oakland" was mentioned. The Marine recalled it was in the old section of what
is now Oakland Internatinal Airport. One of the surviving buildings may still
have Navy wings on it. Has anyone else heard of NAS OAKLAND?
