The naval air station (NAS) was authorized by an Act of Congress, signed by President Herbert Hoover on 12 February 1931. Construction of the original facilities was begun 8 July 1931.[11] The base was originally named Airbase Sunnyvale CAL as it was thought that calling it Mountain View would cause officials to fear airships colliding with mountainsides.[12] The original station was commissioned on 12 April 1933 and dedicated NAS Sunnyvale.[11] After the death of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, who is credited with the creation of the airfield,[13] in the loss of the USS Akron on 4 April 1933, the airfield at NAS Sunnyvale was renamed NAS Moffett Field on 1 September 1933.
