Naval Communications Station,
Skaggs Island
Skaggs Island Naval Communication Station
is a former United States Navy installation located near California
State Route 37 between Novato and Vallejo, California. It was
a secretive, secure, and self-contained naval base, engaged in
a number of communications and intelligence gathering functions
for the Navy and other federal intelligence organizations. The
3,310-acre (13.4 km2) site was purchased by the Navy in 1941,
and closed in 1993, but the antennas continued to be used for
some time after that.
