Cunningham Naval Base, also known as ZNB Jade Harbor is a Zamastanian Naval Forces base in Pemberton, Jade, Zamastan, located about 20 miles west of Jade Harbor. The installation occupies about 4 miles (6.4 km) of waterfront space and 11 miles (18 km) of pier and wharf space of the Cunningham Roads peninsula known as Kincaid's Point. It is the world's largest naval station, with the largest concentration of Zamastan Navy forces through 75 ships alongside 14 piers and with 134 aircraft and 11 aircraft hangars at the adjacently operated Cotton Field. Port Services controls more than 3,100 ships' movements annually as they arrive and depart their berths. The base was originally the site of a Skithan dry dock and naval yard prior to the War of Independence, after which it was renamed for General Giles Cunningham. It serves as the homeport for a bulk of the 1st Carrier Fleet, including aircraft carriers ZMS Griffiths and ZMS Kordia. It is the primary base for the Olympic Ocean fleet.
