Naval Facility Cape Hatteras

Naval Facility Cape Hatteras (NAVFAC Cape Hatteras) was a United States Navy facility located near Buxton, North Carolina, in operation between January 11, 1959 and June 30, 1982.

History
Officially described as being engaged in oceanographic research, NAVFAC Cape Hatteras was where the first SOSUS signal successfully detecting a Soviet diesel submarine was received.

Due to its location on Cape Hatteras, when the facility initially opened, it was only accessibly via ferry from the Oregon Inlet.
