==History==<br />
Before the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]], the naval base was named as '''PNS Bakhtiar'''. After independence the base was named BNS Chittagong. Later, on December 10, 1974, Chittagong naval base was renamed as '''BNS Issa Khan''' by the former [[Prime Minister of Bangladesh]] Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujbur Rahman named after the medieval [[Baro-Bhuyan]] chieftain [[Isa Khan]]. On 8 November 2016 [[President of Bangladesh|President]] [[Mohammad Abdul Hamid|Abdul Hamid]] awarded National Standard to BNS Issa Khan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.navy.mil.bd/news.php|title=NATIONAL STANDARD AWARDED TO BNS ISSA KHAN}}</ref> <br />
<br />
The BNS Issa Khan is currently under the command of the Commander Chattagram Naval Area ([[COMCHIT]]). About 1800 personnel serve at Isa Khan. Issa Khan was established for the training of officers and sailors, as well as operating as a [[naval base]]. Several training schools are located here.<ref name="BNS Isa Khan" /><br />
