San Pedro (118.223W 33.759N) is the port of Los Angeles. The port is largely artificial, with only slight shelter from the Palos Verdes hills to the west. San Pedro Naval Shipyard and the Maritime Commission's Terminal Island shipyard were located here. The port of Long Beach is located adjacent to Terminal Island and can be regarded as part of the same port complex.

San Pedro was a major Navy refueling station, due to the proximity of the Wilmington oil field and refinery. The shipyard was run by Bethlehem Steel and was originally a repair station, but was upgraded for merchant ship construction and then for naval construction. However, the small size of the anchorage and the utter lack of protection from observation to seaward prevented Los Angeles from becoming an important naval base. At the time war broke out, tankers Tippecanoe and Platte, coastal minesweepers Plover, Courier, Firecrest, Road Runner, and Bateleur and tugboat Pinola were docked here.

The port became the Port of Embarkation for men and supplies to the China-Burma-India theater.

In addition to these Navy auxiliaries, Terminal Island produced 292 Liberty ships, 20 Liberty tankers, and 101 Victory ships for the Maritime Commission.

Fort MacArthur (118.285W 33.718N) was manned by 3 Coastal Artillery Regiment, a Type B harbor defense unit. By late 1941, Fort MacArthur  had two modern 14" (356mm) rail guns, four obsolescent 14" guns, eight 12" (305mm) mortars, four 155mm guns, and four 3" (76mm) antiaircraft guns, all decommissioned by 1944 and replaced with two 16" (406mm) casemated guns, two 6" (152mm) guns, five 3" antiaircraft guns, and eight 90mm antiaircraft guns.
