The base was established in the early 1970s by the Imperial Iranian Navy.[9] During the Iran–Iraq War, Bushehr Naval Base served as a support unit of the army, and 266 of its personnel were killed in action.[10]
In the past, the base was the second-largest naval region, with significant infrastructure and equipment. After the creation of the 2nd Naval Region, Velayat in Jask, most operational forces were transferred there, and the Bushehr naval region was downgraded to a base. Today, it still provides logistical support for the operational units of the 2nd Naval Region and is also used for advanced officer training.[11]
