Coastal Defense
— Maritime History —
Established in 1943, to store and supply ammunition for the Atlantic fleet, the Earle Naval Weapons Station plays a key role in protecting American coastal cities and ports. Its deep-water pier is 2.9 miles long and can service several naval vessels at a time. It is located at the confluence of several major transatlantic routes and easily accessible to the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean.HM Number | HMEZH |
