Road Trip: Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California

Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach is a United States Navy weapons and munitions loading, storage and maintenance facility located in Seal Beach, California with detachments in Concord, Fallbrook, and San Diego, all also in California.

The command exists to provide base operating support to the Navy's ordnance mission. Command and tenant personnel provide munitions receipt, segregation, inspection, maintenance, storage, issue, and assessment services to Navy operating forces and other Department of Defense and homeland security entities. Overall, the command supports the provisioning of missiles, torpedoes, and other ordnance to a majority of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

NWS Seal Beach occupies 5,256 acres, has 230 buildings and 128 ammunition magazines providing 589,299 feet of ammunition storage space. Ammunition is moved from storage to the docks on 56 miles of railroad line and 80 miles of road. The base owns 130 pieces of railroad rolling stock and 230 trucks and trailers to move the ammunition which is loaded onto ships using six mobile cranes that can lift up to 90 tons.

The Weapons Station is also home to the West Coast site of the World War II Submarine Memorial. The Memorial is dedicated to the over 3000 submariners who lost their lives in United States submarines in the 52 submarines lost during WWII. There are also plaques dedicated to those who lost their lives in submarine accidents during the Cold War. The Memorial is located outside the main entrance to the Weapons Station on Seal Beach Boulevard and is accessible to the public.

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

Not much happening at the moment. A little...no a LOT pissed off after reading about the 3 girls that were kidnapped years ago being found in Ohio, held captive by three men, one girl at least 10 year. And now most states have outlawed the death penalty. Let’s hope justice is served in prison!

Howz it going with you?

Did some of your mud dry up today?

Most of the mud is dried up and still have some snow. Just weeks till Summer.

[PROCON]

Morning, Beachy, just popping in to say HELLO!!

[E.G.C.]

I am just as pissed off as you are about this. I think this shows which sides the bureaucrats and politicians are on and it sure as heck ain't on ours that's for sure.

Not much going on here. We may get some rain later this week. Bo and I enjoyed our time at the lake yesterday but today, I'm going to be giving him one of those round bones for his supper. You know, the one with meat in it.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good afternoon LUV and (((HUGS))). There are icons in the upper right hand portion of the screen that have the home and favorites buttons now. The status bar at the bottom is gone too.

[luvie]

What version do you have? That’s crazy sounding! I still have XP...and hope I NEVER have to give it up! LOL. I know...I need to move on into the present, but I don’t like what I see. And what you told me sounds so spooky, that they can just change it without any warning!

[Arrowhead1952]

I had the 10.0 version forced onto my computer during the night. I usually turn it off, but did not do so and here is the new version, if you like it or not.

[luvie]

What version of Windows do you have? XP, 7 or 8? I’ve heard that 8 is just awful...and my DIL’s brother helped to develop it. oops! :)

[MoochPooch]

Very rainy today, but the past week was gorgeous. I even got to visit the Botanic Gardens.

I wouldn’t live in L.A. — or California — again for all the money on earth. Way too looney liberal. Definitely more dangerous now, with gangs and whatnot.
