USS Forrestal (CVA 59)
U.S. Navy
The USS Forrestal (CVA-59) was the lead ship of her class and the first "supercarrier" of the United States Navy, commissioned on October 1, 1955. Named after James Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense, she played a pivotal role in Cold War naval operations, serving in both the Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets. Forrestal notably suffered a catastrophic fire in 1967 while deployed off the coast of Vietnam, resulting in significant loss of life and prompting major improvements in carrier safety procedures. Throughout her service, she participated in numerous exercises, deployments, and crisis responses until her decommissioning in 1993.

Naval Communications Station, Guam
U.S. Navy
Naval Communications Station, Guam (NAVCOMMSTA Guam) was established in 1944 following the liberation of Guam during World War II, serving as a critical communications hub for the U.S. Navy in the Pacific. The station played a pivotal role in the relay of strategic and tactical messages throughout the Cold War, supporting U.S. military operations during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Its facilities included extensive antenna fields and advanced communications technology, making it one of the largest and most significant naval communications centers in the region. In the late 1990s, NAVCOMMSTA Guam was reorganized and its functions were incorporated into the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS) Guam, continuing its legacy of providing vital communications support to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
