| | | I can't speak to Naval sites, but I've been to DOE sites that store fissile material. In these, you'll see double fences, usually with razor wire top & bottom - even if they're inside a larger fenced/guarded facility (military base, lab, etc.). Where weapons are stored, there will be frequent guard towers, and the balcony surrounding the shack at the top of each tower will be solid and wrapped all the way around. There will be visible (and invisible) surveillance equipment between the fences, including infrared, microwave, electrical field, and video sensors. The fences themselves may have intrusion detection (taut-wire, vibration, etc.). But you're right, vacant, it's still pretty impressive security for a site inside a Naval facility. It I haven't mentioned it before, this is really a cool site - thanks for putting it up!

| | | Posted by greywolf45 I don't believe nuclear weapons were ever stored there. For one thing, as was stated earlier, the security was not heavy enough, from what i could see in the pictures. Maybe weapons that were designed to carry nuclear warheads, but not the warheads themselves.
| For one thing, the bunkers for the warheads would be much larger than what's pictured. Second, there is no sign of the necessary security for these weapons, except for the watch tower, which would be the first thing a determined theif would take out. This is a bunker for non-atomic weapons, or the weapons components to deliver a nuclear warhead.
