Keyport

A village centering around the Naval Torpedo Station, continuously in operation since 1912, where torpedoes are serviced. A force of about 140 officers, marines, and sailors is stationed here. The brick barracks and shops are surrounded by a spacious lawn that slopes to the water’s edge. On a hill are the steel towers of the radio station. Mounted on concrete bases are powerful searchlights. Surrounding the station is a strong metal-net fence.

Naval Torpedo Station

Keyport is the site of a Naval torpedo station on the south shore of Liberty Bay at its east entrance north of Bremerton in Kitsap County. In 1896, the site was settled by Pete Hagen, O. A. Kuppler and H. B. Kuppler. They chose the present name from an atlas, for a summer resort on the New Jersey coast. Another name, no longer used, was School Point. The station is no longer accessible to the public due to national security concerns.
