U.S. Navy
HS-6, known as the "Indians," was a United States Navy Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron established in 1956. The squadron was initially based at Naval Air Station North Island, California, and operated a series of rotary-wing aircraft, including the SH-3 Sea King and later the SH-60F Seahawk. HS-6 played a vital role in anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue missions, and fleet support, frequently deploying aboard aircraft carriers in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The squadron participated in notable operations such as the recovery of Apollo astronauts and various combat deployments, before being redesignated as HSC-6 in 2009 to reflect its broader mission set.
LSD:LPD-17 Classron
U.S. Navy
The LSD/LPD-17 Classron, often referring to the combined operational grouping of San Antonio-class (LPD-17) amphibious transport docks and Whidbey Island/Harpers Ferry-class (LSD-41/49) dock landing ships, represents a critical evolution in US Navy amphibious warfare capabilities. Established to streamline training, maintenance, and deployment efficiency, the Classron concept enables interoperability and flexible response for embarked Marine Expeditionary Units. These ships have supported a wide range of missions, from major combat operations in the Middle East to humanitarian assistance across the globe. Their advanced command-and-control suites, well decks, and aviation facilities make them central to modern expeditionary strike groups and rapid crisis response.
NAS Dallas
U.S. Navy
Naval Air Station (NAS) Dallas was established in 1941 in Grand Prairie, Texas, as a training base for naval aviators during World War II. Throughout its operational history, NAS Dallas played a vital role in the training and support of Navy and Marine Corps Reserve aviation units, as well as hosting Air Force and Army Reserve units. During the Cold War, the base continued its mission as a hub for reserve aviation activities and supported various operational and training missions. NAS Dallas was officially closed as part of the 1993 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, and its facilities were transferred to the city, becoming the Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex.

Naval Air Station Glynco
U.S. Navy
Naval Air Station Glynco was established in 1942 near Brunswick, Georgia, as a key site for the U.S. Navy during World War II. Originally constructed to serve as a blimp base, NAS Glynco played a vital role in anti-submarine patrols along the Atlantic coast, deploying lighter-than-air airships to protect shipping lanes from German U-boats. After the war, the station transitioned to become a training center, eventually hosting the Naval Air Technical Training Center and the Naval Flight Officers School. NAS Glynco remained an important training and operational facility until its closure in 1974, after which the site was repurposed as the Brunswick Golden Isles Airport and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
