The Great Lakes Naval Base, home to the Naval Service Training Command, is the largest military installation in Illinois and the largest training center in the Navy. The base is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan, 35 miles north of Chicago and a 15-minute drive from The Holiday Inn Express Chicago Waukegan Hotel & Suites.
Founded in 1911, this naval base in the Great Lakes includes the Recruit Training Center, the Naval Hospital and the Naval District Headquarters. America’s Navy can be traced back to 1775 during the American Revolution, when the Continental Congress commissioned a few small ships to be built, creating the first Continental Navy. Today, the Navy still adheres to most of the same core principles, pledging a commitment to protect the values of this country.
