One of the Safety officers was telling us about this one building hidden in the brush on the north side of the airport that was central to a U.S. classified program that built and assembled Torpedoes with nuclear bombs attached. I found a little info online and decided to go check it out. Here's an aerial photo from 1956. All those revetments near bldg 562 are all overgrown now with vegetation.
