LORAN Station Sitkinak was a United States Coast Guard long-range navigation (LORAN) station established during the Cold War era on Sitkinak Island, Alaska. Commissioned in 1961, the station was part of the North Pacific LORAN-C chain, providing critical navigation signals for military and commercial vessels and aircraft operating in the region. Crewed by Coast Guard personnel, Sitkinak played a vital role in supporting maritime and aviation safety throughout the North Pacific, especially during adverse weather and low-visibility conditions. The station operated until its decommissioning in 1977, as advances in satellite navigation technology rendered LORAN-C less essential.
