Talk:Saint Paul Island (Alaska)

Untitled
There is a major omission from the text regarding St. Paul, Island. Since the late 1960s the United States Coast Guard has maintained a LORAN-A (and after 1978 LORAN-C) radio navigation beacon transmitter on the site. The station, which is a major search and rescue hub during crab season and hosts at least two air crews on standby status to support SAROPS in the Bering sea, also has seventeen regular staff on an annual rotation. The site was bid upon in 2006 for major reconstruction and rebuilding to replace the aging tube-based LORAN-C equipment with more modern solid state systems.

Further information about this LORAN site can be located here:

The USCG LORAN towers were dismantled in 2011 and the entire base is now mothballed.

Unclear nationalty
Except for the (Alaska) in the title of the article, the "ownership" of the island(s) is unclear. I read the whole article and there is no direct statement that the island is part of the U.S. There are indirect and circumstantial references to U.S. agencies. I'm not really sure where the "ownership" statement would go, but I'd assume that it would be in the opening paragraph. I'd do it myself, but don't really know the format of such ownership/nationalty statements.--TGC55 (talk) 16:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Is it not clear that if St. Paul is part of Alaska, it's part of the U.S.?--Bweenie (talk) 02:32, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Missing Information
There is no mention of the Harbor, or the difficulties of sailing a boat in or out of the harbor mouth in adverse weather conditions.

There is no mention of the salt lagoon, or why it was not used as a harbour instead of building a mole to turn a natural bay into a harbor. FreeFlow99 (talk) 14:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
