The street names tell the story of submarine heritage. Cavalla, Shark, Wahoo, and Kete are all named after historic submarines. Naval Submarine Base itself appears as an address, along with Crystal Lake Road, which provides civilian access to certain facilities. These nine street delivery records don't indicate typical residential mail routes. They represent specific buildings and facilities on base that receive institutional mail through distinct routing.
While the ZIP contains only 57 PO Boxes, this reflects the base's mail organization rather than population. Military bases consolidate mail services differently than civilian communities. Personnel living in base housing typically use PO Boxes rather than street delivery, even though they reside at physical addresses. The base also maintains connections to the broader Groton community through its standard sibling ZIP, which handles civilian areas adjacent to the installation.
This ZIP is classified as P for PO Box only, with one city carrier route serving the internal base addresses. The facility operates with city delivery indicators despite its specialized function. Six businesses on base employ about 220 people according to historical establishment data, likely representing exchanges, services, and support operations that maintain their own PO Boxes for commercial mail separate from command correspondence.
Street names honor historic submarines (Cavalla, Shark, Wahoo, Kete) that served in the U.S. Navy, reflecting the base's mission as the Navy's primary East Coast submarine facility. The presence of Crystal Lake Road indicates civilian infrastructure connections.
ZIP Code 06349 supports both business and residential activity. According to the Business Census (2024), there are 20 business establishments, employing about 220 people with an annual payroll of $17,933,000.
