Loran Cape Blanco
U.S. Coast Guard
Loran Cape Blanco was a United States Coast Guard LORAN (Long Range Navigation) station located on the southern Oregon coast, near Cape Blanco. Established in 1945 during World War II, the station was part of a broader network designed to provide accurate navigation signals for Allied ships and aircraft operating in the Pacific theater. Operated by Coast Guard personnel, the unit maintained and transmitted powerful radio signals to assist in maritime and aerial navigation along the challenging Pacific coastline. The station continued its mission into the Cold War era before being decommissioned as advances in satellite navigation technology rendered LORAN stations obsolete.

**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.
