Rear Admirals also oversee major shore-based commands. Examples include Navy Pacific Region Northwest (PACNORWEST), overseeing all bases and installation in that geographic area; or the Program Executive Office for Littoral Combat Ships (PEO LCS), overseeing the inception, R&D, testing, and delivery of such platforms to the Fleet.
