Excellent underground reverse engineering facility that the US Government operates for the Navy (not to be confused with the similar program at Wright Patterson which operates specifically for the USAF). You'll see some basic facilities and operations on the surface but the majority of this base exists deep underground where the public will never see what they have going on. read more

The waterfront has a variety of boats available, including canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, fishing boats and pontoon boats. A small NEX (Base Exchange) carries the basics and houses a Subway restaurant. The Base Commissary is located next door and carries items similar to a small grocery store.
