I was unaware of this facility.
Looks like it was valuable enough to rebuild the huge piers fairly recently.

Workplace violence? If it was, I'm sure they'll let us know.

I was trying to figure out exactly what that was, but an outdoor testing tank for models makes sense (except for the winter temps in NJ)

I was unaware of this facility.It's been just up the coast from us forever, have not thought much about it now that the nukes are gone.
How do I know the nukes are gone? When rent-a-cops take the place of United States Marines as base security, the nukes are gone.

I remember in 1973 an explosion occurred in the machine shop at Coast Guard Base Cape May.
Turns out a couple of machinist mates were blow torching a WWII torpedo they fished out.

It couldn’t have been. The NSA would have picked up on it after reading his emails and FR posts.
