Arming the Fleet Highlights: Providing Our Warfighters the Decisive Advantage Third Edition (ePub eBook)

Arming the Fleet 1943-2011: Providing Our Warfighters the Decisive Advantage tells a compelling story of the secret weapons city of China Lake, California, a secluded Navy base in the middle of the vast Mojave Desert that has been quietly delivering weapons that work since 1943. The book also provides an inside look at Point Mugu, California, a Department of Defense (DOD) premiere electronic warfare site and home of the world’s largest instrumented over-water range where most Navy targets are tested. Combined, these two internationally recognized historic sites comprise the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (also known as NAWCWD, the "Division," or WD), an organization with a strong legacy in direct Warfighter support.
