Naval Station Hawaii
From The Dreadnought Project
Jump to navigationJump to searchNaval Station Hawaii was a United States Navy naval base centred on Pearl Harbour on the island of Oahu.
I presume that Naval Station Honolulu is the same entity.
During the period leading up to the Great War, the facilities were much smaller than they'd become.
