Here are some images I got from a website called globalsecurity.com.

Because of the news that Iran is sending some of their naval ships to sea I was interested in learning about our naval base stationed in Bahrain.

We have about 1,200 sailors stationed there, many with families. The U.S. Navy is a significant part of Bahrain culture. The website has a lengthy description of the relationship of the base and the location. Definitely worth a read through.

Here is the base.
