Description: Camp Hero was constructed in 1941 in Montauk, Suffolk County, New York, on the eastern tip of Long Island. The United States Navy built docks, a seaplane hangar and a barracks which ultimately became the now closed-down Ocean Science Lab. Camp Hero consisted of two 16-inch gun emplacements, and one 6-inch gun. Camp Hero was linked with Fort Terry, Fort Michie, and Fort Wright. An air base was also constructed during WW2. It was deactivated following the conclusion of the conflict and was used for Army Reserve training until 1950. In 1957 it was transferred to the Air Force and the 773rd Aircraft Control. The unit as well as the base were decommissioned and sold in 1982.
