naval magazine Naval Magazine Pearl Harbor (a.k.a. Naval Magazine Lualualei) Explanation: In the absence of context, I think it should be left "as is". Perhaps, via footnote, it should be noted that "Naval Magazine Lualualei" is now Naval Magazine Pearl Harbor". See refs. below where it was changed in January 2000: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/lualualei.ht... Naval Magazine, Lualualei Lualualei, HI Naval Magazine Pearl Harbor NAVMAG Pearl Harbor (West Loch - aka "Westlock") Naval Magazine Lualualei is contiguous to NRTF Lualualei. Lualualei may have been a weapons production center for Hawaiian warriors several hundred year ago, which would make it the oldest ammunition facility in the U.S. When the present facilities were built in 1934, several stones found on the site were identified as those used for sharpening spears and other Hawaiian war implements. Lualualei has a number of meanings, one of which is "flexible wreath", which is said to recall the war strategy of a chief who sent his ranks of Waianae warriors to surround the invading armies like a wreath, defeating them at the battle of Kipapa about 1410 A.D. http://wikimapia.org/4190586/Naval-Magazine-Pearl-Harbor-a-k... Naval Magazine Pearl Harbor (a.k.a. Naval Magazine Lualualei) ****In January 2000 the designation Naval Magazine, Lualualei, Hawaii, was changed to Naval Magazine Pearl Harbor******. The name change was a result of the command’s recent headquarters move from the Lualualei Branch to Pearl Harbor’s West Loch. Fifty W-80-0 munitions for Tomahawk SLCM's and 40 nuclear aerial bombs are stored in the Lualualei Naval Magazine (NAVMAG) at West Loch on Oahu, Hawaii. |
