HS-7
U.S. Navy
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron SEVEN (HS-7), also known as the "Dusty Dogs," was established in 1960 by the United States Navy. Originally flying the Sikorsky HSS-1 Seabat, the unit specialized in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations, supporting fleet defense during the Cold War. Over the decades, HS-7 transitioned to newer helicopters, including the SH-3 Sea King and later the SH-60F/HH-60H Seahawk, expanding its mission to include search and rescue (SAR) and combat support. The squadron was redesignated as Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron SEVEN (HSC-7) in 2009, reflecting its broadened operational capabilities.
HSL-36
U.S. Navy
Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (Light) 36 (HSL-36) was a United States Navy helicopter squadron established on 1 June 1973. The unit operated the SH-2 Seasprite helicopter, providing anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and utility support primarily to surface combatants as part of the Navy’s Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) program. HSL-36 was based at Naval Air Station Norfolk, Virginia, and played a key role in enhancing fleet readiness during the Cold War by deploying detachments aboard frigates and destroyers. The squadron was disestablished on 30 September 1984 as part of a broader reorganization of Navy helicopter forces.

Naval Communication Station Kodiak Alaska
U.S. Navy
Naval Communication Station Kodiak, Alaska, was established during World War II as part of the United States' efforts to defend the North Pacific and maintain secure communications in the strategically vital Aleutian Islands. Commissioned in 1941, the station provided critical radio and communications support for U.S. naval operations, particularly during the Aleutian Islands Campaign against Japanese forces. Throughout the Cold War, the station continued to play an important role in monitoring Soviet activity and supporting fleet operations in the North Pacific. The facility was eventually decommissioned as advances in technology and changing strategic priorities reduced the need for remote communication stations in Alaska.
Naval Support Activity Hospital Danang
U.S. Navy
Naval Support Activity Hospital Danang was a major U.S. Navy medical facility established in 1965 in Danang, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. Initially set up to provide medical care for American and allied forces, the hospital rapidly expanded to accommodate the increasing number of casualties resulting from intensified combat operations in the region. Staffed by Navy doctors, nurses, and corpsmen, it became one of the largest and most advanced military hospitals in Vietnam, offering surgery, trauma care, and treatment for tropical diseases. Naval Support Activity Hospital Danang played a critical role in saving thousands of lives before winding down operations as U.S. forces withdrew from Vietnam in the early 1970s.
