The "Navy Mole," a man-made peninsula that juts in front of the former Long Beach Naval Shipyard, is the home port of the 17-acre Sea Launch Home Port Facilities.

Pictured above are two unique ships form the marine infrastructure of the Sea Launch system. The first is a custom-built Assembly and Command Ship (ACS), and the second is the Launch Platform (LP), a semi-submersible vessel which is one of the world's largest ocean going launch platforms. Both vessels are equipped with spacecraft handling and launch support systems.
