Complex 320-325, Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado



When veiwed from the air Complex 320-325, of the Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado is shaped like a swastika. A draft study conducted by the National Register of Historic Places noted that the shape of the six-building complex was simply an oversight that went undetected during the Navy’s approval process.
In early 2007 the San Diego chapter of the Anti-Defamation League began quiet talks with the Navy, and on September 26, 2007 the Navy announced that they would budget up to $600,000, to modify the buildings’ walkways and rooftop to hide the swastika look from the air.
