Editing Attu Station, Alaska (section)

==History==
{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2025}}{{Main|Attu Island}}
After the Japanese invasion of [[Attu Island]] and the battle to retake it, the United States government constructed a [[LORAN]] station on the southern tip of the island, at Theodore Point. The equipment to build the station came from [[Holtz Bay]] and was ferried on barges and landing craft to Baxter Cove, about {{cvt|1|mile}} east of the station. Bulldozers were used to cut a road from Baxter Cove to Theodore Point.

In 1960, the station was moved to Casco Cove, near the former [[United States Navy]] base at [[Massacre Bay (Alaska)|Massacre Bay]]. Later, it was moved to Massacre Bay. LORAN Station Attu ceased transmission of the LORAN signal on February 8, 2010, and the Russian-American signal ceased on August 1, 2010.

In 2025, the [[U.S. Naval Institute]] proposed reviving the military airfield on Attu.<ref>{{Cite news|first= Hulse |last=Steve |authorlink=   |title= Bases on the Aleutian Islands Would Project U.S. Power Across the Pacific (Volume 151/1/1,463) |newspaper=[[U.S. Naval Institute]]|date= January 2025|url=https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2025/january/bases-aleutian-islands-would-project-us-power-across-pacific |via=|archive-url=| archive-date=}}</ref>
