Azusa Naval Command Control Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC) Morris Dam Facility
The former Azusa Naval Command Control Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC) Morris Dam Facility covers about 20 acres on the western shoreline peninsula of Morris Reservoir. The facility was constructed in 1943. The facility tested torpedoes.
This site was used especially for the development of submarine-based warfare systems, including torpedoes, bombs, and submarine-launched missiles like the Polaris rocket, the first ballistic missile that could be launched from submerged submarines. Most of the buildings at the site have been removed,
