I'm working on a new NAVY base on my layout"In honor of my son Mike serving" where the camp ground went out of business! Does anyone sell O gauge or close NAVY sailors?

I believe it was from Artistta that I picked up some a couple of years ago. I made a little scene showing my friends and I at a station (we look a bit older than the figures do). They're out there.
Sailors pop up from time to time in MTH passenger cars. Maybe you can find someone who's willing to depopulate a car or trade for regular citizens?
I only saw 1 set of sailor figures here, take a look:
Chris. I have this O scale Coast Guard cutter. It comes with a crew but not sure if you can buy just the figures. Check here..
Chris,
As a retired Navy SEAL, I too have looked for Navy figures for my layout. To this end I purchased two Combat Ready Collectible sets by Wayne Hill including a complete Navy Color Guard pod-foot set and a Navy Marching Band pod-foot set. The Barclay-like metal figures in these sets are middle sized and might be perfect for your Navy Base. You may be able to buy them where I did from Rodney's Dimestore Gallery. Scroll down the page until you find them. Here's a link to the store's web page on which these figures are listed:

The CRC Navy Color Guard set is currently available on ebay. It's item number 171120263479.
And there is a CRC Marine Marching Band for sale on ebay. It's item number 360731098643. The CRC Navy Marching band has similar instruments played by sailors.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Bob;And thank you for your service. I'll follow these leads. My son is a MASTER AT ARMS. Maybe I can find something close.
Here are some Marx figures. They would need painting.
