Political Commissar of the Naval Region 3 Command, Rear Admiral Nguyen Dang Tien said that in order to meet the requirements of the task of protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands of a unified Vietnam, on October 26, 1975, the Ministry of National Defense issued a decision to establish the Coastal Region 3 under the Naval Command with the task of managing and protecting the sea and islands from the South of Hai Van Pass (Da Nang) to Ke Ga Cape ( Binh Thuan ).

Along with the development process and new mission requirements, on October 27, 1978, the Ministry of National Defense issued a decision to reorganize naval regions, accordingly, Coastal Region 3 was renamed Naval Region 3 with the task of managing and protecting the sea and islands of 7 Central provinces, from Deo Ngang ( Quang Binh ) to Cu Lao Xanh (Binh Dinh) and ready to support other sea regions when ordered.

Since then, under the leadership and direction of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense, directly by the Party Committee and the Navy Command, with the coordination and assistance of the armed forces, authorities and people in the stationed area, Naval Region 3 has continuously grown and always excellently completed its assigned tasks.

Over the past time, along with the attention of the Party and State, Naval Region 3 has always received attention, support and facilitation from local authorities, units and enterprises nationwide.

With the motto "mainland towards distant islands", "for the homeland's sea and islands", the visit and New Year greetings on the island districts of Con Co and Ly Son will contribute to encouraging officers, soldiers and people on the islands to work and live with peace of mind and celebrate the traditional national New Year joyfully, warmly and happily.
