Stockton Naval Command
Telecommunications Station
The Rough and Ready Island Annex, which opened in 1944, operated as a supply Depot until 1959 when it became the Naval Communications Station for the Pacific Coast region.
The station is a former United States Navy installation on the San Joaquin River in Stockton, California in San Joaquin County, near the Stockton Channel and was 3 miles west of Stockton. The Supply Depot was built during World War II as part of the San Joaquin Depot that operated the near by Tracy Depot Facility and the Sharpe Depot Facility.
The Depot Annex served the United States Pacific Fleet. The Depot warehoused naval stores, disposed of surplus Naval property and provided logistical support for other Naval bases. For some time the wharf was used to store as mothballed ships of the reserve fleet for the Pacific Reserve Fleet. The Naval Supply Depot was phased out of use. It was transferred to the Port of Stockton between 2000 and 2003. This area of the port is now known as the "West Complex".

Stockton is identified as a DOD installation with known or suspected releases of PFOS/PFOA, according to a DOD Report to Congress on Aqueous Film-Forming Foam - Nov. 3, 2017.
No testing results were made public regarding the base, only that it is likely contaminated with the ”forever chemicals.”
