Formerly NAS Annex. Two islands at the western side of the Great Sound, Tucker's and Morgan's, were levelled, adding 36 acres to Bermuda's landmass, and creating a peninsula extending from the Main Island. The entire base measured 260 acres. It was not long enough to allow a useful runway, but did have extensive tarmac and hangar areas. Large Martin flying boats could be pulled ashore for hangarage and servicing. When the area was first occupied by the US Navy it was named the Naval Operating Base. Once the Naval Air Station was completed, the US Navy relocated its air operations from Darrell's Island. The base continued to be used for this purpose until the 1960s, when the last flying boats were withdrawn from service. US Navy P-2 Neptune landplanes based at the USAF base, Kindley Field, then took over the maritime patrol role. The US Navy took over Kindley Field entirely in 1970 and renamed it NAS Bermuda. The former Naval Air Station was redubbed the NAS Annex. It served primarily as a dock area for US Naval shipping until the closure of all of the US bases at the end of the Cold War in 1995.
