NAVFAC Pt. SUR

NAVFAC Point Sur (Naval Facility Point Sur) was a United States Navy Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) station located near Point Sur, California. Commissioned in 1958 during the Cold War, its primary mission was to detect and track Soviet submarines using undersea listening technology. The facility played a vital role in anti-submarine warfare by providing valuable intelligence to the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. NAVFAC Point Sur remained operational until its decommissioning in 1984, after which the site was eventually preserved as part of Point Sur State Historic Park.
