History
A number of mergers over the years have led to the current organization. For example 80% of the Point Loma Military Reservation evolved into the Naval Electronics Laboratory Center (NELC) at the end of World War II. In the 1960s, NELC was tasked with 4C: Command, Control, Communications and Computers. In turn NELC was merged into the Naval Ocean Systems Center (NOSC) in 1977. This eventually was merged into SPAWAR.
