Adak Naval Station
|
|
| A remote and barren outpost on an island in the middle of the Aleutian Chain, the Naval Air Facility in Adak had a community of 5,000 as recently as a few years ago, but has been closed by recent BRAC decisions and is largely abandoned now. The facilities at Adak are especially built for the harsh environment, which is very seismically active and extremely windy. There are no other communities on Adak, and the treeless island is littered with ash from nearby volcanoes. Anti-submarine warfare surveillance aircraft were stationed here, and chemical warfare material has contaminated portions of the base. |
