This system recently appeared at Great Lakes NTC in suburban Chicago and I understand from others that the same System ID is used at other Navy facilities including some in the Gulf Coast area.
I am going to assume that they set this up this way to be able to use radios from one base at another but what I wonder is whether the system is a true OmniLink system or just a batch of independent trunked systems sharing a System ID.
If it is an OmniLink system then radios from the various bases should be able to talk to compatriots on other bases, otherwise their radios would just work locally.
