Probably looking for another Naval Base for WV.

I hate to break it to you, but there is a Navy Base in West Virginia. It's at Sugar Grove (in Pendleton County) just to the North of our listening station for alien radio signals in Greenbank, WV (which requires a National Radio Quiet Zone). That zone helps the Navy's mission which the local newspaper said was monitoring satellite transmissions from the various embassies in DC for intelligence. I can neither confirm nor deny that news story.

I did serve almost four years there when it was a Naval Radio Station. It is now a Naval Security Group Activity. By the way, it is the only active (as opposed to reserve) duty base in the state.
