Naval Torpedo Station Newport


ID : 2305   

« back to classes page
CourseGraphic In 1869, the Navy established a facility on Newport's Goat Island to develop and test underwater weapons. Over the decades, the Naval Torpedo Station (NTS) has played the key role in evolution of these devices. In World War II, however, our undersea warfare capabilities had fallen behind those of our enemies for many reasons. This is the story of the early days, through the problem eras and into the 21st century. The legacy of NTS is carried on today by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, whose professional staff endeavor to ensure our Navy has the best in weaponry while also working with academia and private industry for peaceful applications of undersea technology.
