China Lake NAWS, California |
The 1988 China Lake Naval
Weapons Center airshow.
On June 24 and June 25, I was treated to a tour of China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station by Captain Jim Seaman, the Military Deputy Commander for Pacific Ranges.
China Lake NAWS is home to a variety of vintage
aircraft. The U.S. Naval Museum of Armament & Technology
has assembled a very interesting collection with some types not
found elsewhere. The Weapons Survivability Laboratory (WSL)
evaluates the damage done to airframes by different types of
weapons.
The Explosive
Ordnance Disposal team set up a demonstration of several
types of explosives, including an anti-car-bomb blast.
China Lake NAWS is home to the U.S.
Naval Museum of Armament & Technology. It houses an
extensive collection of missiles and weapons delivery systems.
