Key West, Fl.
U.S. Coast Guard
Key West, Florida, has been a strategic military location since the early 19th century, with the establishment of Fort Zachary Taylor in 1845 to defend the nation’s southern coastline. During the Civil War, Key West remained under Union control, serving as an important base for blockading Confederate shipping. In the 20th century, Key West became a vital naval station, particularly during World War II and the Cold War, hosting anti-submarine operations and supporting the Cuban Missile Crisis response. Today, Naval Air Station Key West continues to provide training and operational support for the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and allied forces.
Loran Station Adak Alaska
U.S. Coast Guard
Loran Station Adak, located on Adak Island in Alaska’s Aleutian chain, was established by the United States Coast Guard during World War II as part of the Long Range Navigation (LORAN) system. Operational from 1943, the station provided critical radio navigation signals to support Allied naval and air operations across the North Pacific, particularly during the Aleutian Campaign against Japanese forces. Following the war, Loran Station Adak remained active through the Cold War, enhancing maritime safety and supporting both military and commercial vessels in the remote region. The station was eventually decommissioned in the late 20th century as satellite-based navigation systems rendered LORAN technology obsolete.
LORAN STATION SITKINAK
U.S. Coast Guard
LORAN Station Sitkinak was a United States Coast Guard long-range navigation (LORAN) station established during the Cold War era on Sitkinak Island, Alaska. Commissioned in 1961, the station was part of the North Pacific LORAN-C chain, providing critical navigation signals for military and commercial vessels and aircraft operating in the region. Crewed by Coast Guard personnel, Sitkinak played a vital role in supporting maritime and aviation safety throughout the North Pacific, especially during adverse weather and low-visibility conditions. The station operated until its decommissioning in 1977, as advances in satellite navigation technology rendered LORAN-C less essential.

USCG Base Astoria
U.S. Coast Guard
USCG Base Astoria, located in Astoria, Oregon, has served as a key United States Coast Guard installation since its establishment in 1945. Originally built to support World War II operations, the base quickly became a hub for search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, and environmental protection missions along the Pacific Northwest coast. Over the decades, USCG Base Astoria has played a vital role in responding to maritime emergencies, supporting aids to navigation, and conducting homeland security operations in the Columbia River and nearby coastal waters. Today, it remains a strategic base, supporting multiple Coast Guard cutters and units dedicated to safeguarding the region's waterways and coastline.

USCG EECEN Wildwood, New Jersey
U.S. Coast Guard
The U.S. Coast Guard's Electronics Engineering Center (EECEN) in Wildwood, New Jersey, traces its roots to World War II, when the site functioned as Naval Air Station Wildwood. Established as a Coast Guard facility in the 1970s, EECEN became the service’s primary center for the research, development, testing, and support of electronic navigation and communication systems. Over the decades, EECEN has played a vital role in advancing the Coast Guard’s technological capabilities, supporting operations from aids to navigation to maritime security. Today, EECEN continues to serve as a critical hub for innovation and technical expertise within the Coast Guard’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5I) community.
