Naval Station Anchorhead (IATA: NSA, ICAO: NSAH), is an Aquitaynian Navy base in Anchorhead, Caprica. It supports naval forces in the Aquitaynian Fleet Forces Command, those operating in the northeastern regions of Astyria, notably close to Riysa, Aswick, Caprica, and Zitru. NS Anchorhead occupies about 1.98km of waterfront space, and 3.63km of pier and wharf space, encompassing roughly 4.5 square kilometers of land space adjacent to the water's edge. It is one of three naval stations in Anchorhead Bay, which also includes naval bases from Caprica and the Blackhelm Confederacy. The naval base supports up to 11 ships at once, including one Alexander Class CVN, and has an airbase with 5 aircraft hangars that, along with outdoor spaces, can support roughly 80 aircraft. The base houses the largest concentration of Aquitaynian naval forces east of Cape Town.

Air Operations conduct over 36,000 flight operations each year, an average of 98 flights per day, or 4 flights every hour. Over 50,000 passengers and 180,000 tonnes of mail and cargo depart annually through Air Mobility Command aircraft and AMC-chartered flights.
