It is Malaysia's largest naval base, and it has served as the Royal Malaysian Navy's headquarters since 9 September 1984, replacing Woodlands Naval Base in Singapore.[1] This base now serves as the headquarters for the Royal Malaysian Navy's (RMN) Western Fleet Command, while the Sepangar Bay Naval Base serves as the headquarters for the RMN's Eastern Fleet Command.

First Admiral Noor Zukhi Hj Harun is the current commander of Lumut Naval Base, succeeding First Admiral Dato' Anuar Alias PGB on 11 November 2021.[2]
