Ngong Shuen Chau Naval Base is part of the People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison and small naval base in Hong Kong. It is home to the South Sea Fleet Squadron # 38081 and sub-base to the naval squadron of the South Sea Fleet. The area surrounding the base is off limits to civilian ship traffic. ==History== The naval base was built by the contractors during the handover period in 1996–1997 and one of a few military installations that was not transferred from the British. The naval base is located on the South Shore of the former Stonecutter's Island and located south of the former (now a Government Dockyard). Most of the facility was created from dredging and in-fill project in the early 1990s in anticipation of the move of ''Tamar'' and the handover. The older buildings and recreation facilities were inherited from the Hong Kong Military Service Corps. Many buildings in the base date to the 1930s, but some are as far back as the 1870s.
