Lake Hancock Target Range, Washington

Lake Hancock is a coastal marsh on Whidbey Island, which was used as a bombing range by the Navy from the 1940's to the 1970's. Still littered with submerged metal fragments, the 423 acre site is now managed by the nearby Naval Station and the Nature Conservancy. Bombing practice for Whidbey Island Naval pilots is conducted at the Boardman Bombing Range in eastern Oregon, or at the ranges around the Fallon Naval Air Station in Nevada.
