The Storage and Assembly Area features a network of loop service roads, a large drive-through assembly-type building, and several long storage buildings. The Possible Checkout .Area contains a single long drive-through building, and. unlike the other areas, there is a possible firebreak between the two wire fences securing this facility. Of the remaining areas, the Unidentified.A.rea eontair,.,; eight excavations in the side of a hill and two small buildings. The two Possible Storage Areas contain several buildings and unidentified structures, and the Possible Housing Area contains five buildings which could provide on-site quarters for supporting personnel, Since this facility is located in the Sevastopol area., which is primarily associated. with naval operations, it is considered that the installation may be naval related.
