Yep.
 
Port Canaveral is composed of three primary turning basins and facilities  
located along the east-west oriented Inner Reach of the Entrance Channel. 
The  Port is a multiple-use facility composed of cruise ship berths, cargo 
berths and  US Navy and Military Sealift Command berths. The West Turning Basin 
is used by  Cruise ships and the US Coast Guard. The Central Turning Basin 
is jointly used  by commercial, US Navy and MSC vessels. The Trident Turning 
Basin is used by US  Navy Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine forces. The 
berths situated on the Inner  Reach of the Entrance Channel are used primarily 
by Cruise Ships, cargo ships  and tankers. The US Navy and Military Sealift 
Command facilities in the Central  and Trident Turning Basins are of primary 
importance to this evaluation. 
 
The primary US Navy facilities at Port Canaveral consist of the Trident 
Wharf  on the east side of the Trident (East) Turning Basin, the Poseidon Wharf 
on the  southeast side of the Central Turning Basin, and the Military 
Traffic Management  Command (MTMC) Wharf on the north side of the Central Turning 
Basin.
