Lorsta iwo jima

**LORSTA Iwo Jima** was a United States Coast Guard LORAN (Long Range Navigation) station established on the island of Iwo Jima following World War II. Activated in the late 1960s, its mission was to provide vital navigation signals in the Pacific region to support both military and civilian maritime and aviation traffic during the Cold War. The station was manned by Coast Guard personnel who operated and maintained the facility under challenging and isolated island conditions. LORSTA Iwo Jima continued its operations until technological advancements led to its decommissioning in the early 1990s, marking the end of an era in terrestrial radio navigation.
