In 1963, Naval Communication Unit was established on the Joint Force Command Naples (AFSOUTH) post in Bagnoli.

In May 1968, its mission was expanded to include fleet support for units in the Mediterranean Sea and the command was renamed Naval Communications Station, Italy (NAVCOMMSTA).

On April 1, 1976, NAVCOMMSTA was redesignated as Naval Communication Area Master Station, Mediterranean (NAVCAMS MED) and became one of four in the world.

NCTAMS MED began consolidation efforts in the Naples area by moving to the new state-of-the-art Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) facility located in the Capt John E Myers Building at Capodichino, the move was completed in 10 months.

Today, NCTS Naples is vital part of US and Joint communications providing services to several local commands including United States Sixth Fleet, United States Naval Forces Europe and many other non-local commands.
