The depot is located on the north shore of the river, south of the village of Crombie and west of Charlestown.
It is now operated as part of the UK's Defence Storage and Distribution Agency.
[2][3] The US Navy operates a cooperative security location (CSL) at the depot which provides logistical capabilities in support of US Navy and allied forces operating in northern Europe.
The CSL is administered by Naval Supply Systems Command's Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella, based at Naval Air Station Sigonella in Italy.
Since the naval yard's closure, DM Crombie has been retained primarily as a loading/off-loading facility for naval vessels and the storage and maintenance of the Royal Air Force's air launched weapons.
