Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort

Die Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort (kurz MCAS Beaufort, ICAO-Code: KNBC, FAA-LID: NBC) ist ein Militärflugplatz des United States Marine Corps in der Kleinstadt Beaufort im Beaufort County in South Carolina, einem Bundesstaat der Vereinigten Staaten an der Ostküste des Landes. Der Stützpunkt wird seit 1943, zunächst bis 1960 unter dem Namen Naval Air Station Beaufort, als Marineflugplatz genutzt. Die Basis ist ein wichtiger Kampfflugzeugstützpunkt der Marineinfanterie an der Ostküste. Geschichte Während des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs landeten in der Gegend um die heutige MCAS Beaufort im Jahr 1779 britische Truppen, und im Sezessionskrieg wurde die Region von beiden Seiten als Aufmarsch- und Versorgungsgebiet genutzt. Die heutige MCAS Beaufort geht auf einen Flugplatz zurück, der 1943 von der Luftfahrtbehörde der Vereinigten Staaten als Naval Air Station Beaufort eingerichtet wurde. Er diente damals der Ausbildung von Marinefliegerverbänden für die U-Boot-Bekämpfung im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Im Jahr 1960 wurde der Flugplatz in Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort umbenannt und dem United States Marine Corps unterstellt. Seither ist er der zentrale Stützpunkt für den Einsatz der McDonnell Douglas F/A-18-Kampfflugzeuge des Marine Corps an der US-Ostküste. Unter der Marine Air Group 31 (MAG-31) sind hier sieben Einsatzstaffeln stationiert. Seit dem Jahr 2000 sind zudem auch zwei Staffeln der US Navy mit F/A-18-Maschinen in Beaufort beheimatet. Die Basis wurde zum Ostküsten-Stationierungsort der F-35B ausgewählt und hierzu entstand auch das erste von zwei Trainingszentren für diese Variante der F-35. Die erste F-35B-Umschulstaffel, VMFAT-501, wurde im Juli 2014 von Eglin nach Beaufort verlegt. (Die VMFAT-502 wurde im Juni 2020 in Miramar an der Westküste neu aufgestellt.) Am 28. September 2018 stürzte eine F-35B des USMC nahe der Basis ab. Der Pilot rettete sich mit dem Schleudersitz. Heutige Nutzung Zurzeit ist die Marine Aircraft Group 31 der Hauptnutzer. Sie betreibt zurzeit (2025) noch drei Staffeln der F/A-18, die VMFA(AW)-224 Fighting Bengals (siehe unten), VMFA-115 Silver Eagles und VMFA-312 Checkerboards. Hinzu kommen folgende F-35B-Staffeln: VMFAT-501, die Ostküsten-Umschuleinheit; sie wurde im Juli 2014 nach Beaufort verlegt und neben denen des USMC werden hier auch F-35B-Piloten anderer Nationen geschult. VFMA-533 Hawks, seit Oktober 2024 ausgerüstet mit F-35B VMFA-224 Fighting Bengals, geplant ab 2026/2027.

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort of Beaufort MCAS, bijgenaamd Fightertown East, is een vliegbasis van het United States Marine Corps nabij Beaufort (South Carolina). Het is anno 2014 de thuisbasis van zes squadrons met F/A-18 Hornet en F-35B Lightning II gevechtsvliegtuigen, gegroepeerd in Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG 31). De basis beslaat bijna 28 km2 (6900 acre). Vliegtuigen van de basis hebben de beschikking over een grote oefenruimte voor luchtgevechten voor de Atlantische kust van South Carolina en Georgia. De Townsend Bombing Range, ongeveer 125 km zuidelijk van Beaufort in McIntosh County (Georgia), wordt gebruikt voor aanvallen op gronddoelen. De woonwijk van Laurel Bay is ook verbonden aan de basis; daar wonen de families van de personeelsleden van de basis. Geschiedenis De United States Navy opende Naval Air Station Beaufort in de Tweede Wereldoorlog voor de training van anti-onderzeebootpatrouilles. Na de oorlog sloot de basis in 1946. In 1956 werd hij heropend en in 1960 gewijzigd in een Marine Corps Air Station. In 1975 kreeg het vliegveld de naam Merritt Field, als eerbetoon aan generaal-majoor Lewie G. Merritt (1897-1974), afkomstig uit Ridge Spring in South Carolina. Voor de komst van de F/A-18 werd de basis onder meer gebruikt door squadrons met de Vought F-8 Crusader en McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.

Wyche Pavilion

The Wyche Pavilion is the two-story, open-air shell of a historic building in downtown Greenville, South Carolina, used in the 21st century as an event venue. As part of the Reedy River Industrial District, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 14, 1979. The brick structure was built in 1904 by noted Greenville engineer and industrial architect Joseph Emory Sirrine (1872–1947) with large windows of the same size on both floors, a flat roof, and a cupola at its center. The building was intended as a paint shop for the adjacent Greenville Coach Factory, but with the coming of the automobile, the owners of the coach factory sold the business in 1911. In 1925, the building became the home of Duke's Mayonnaise, a successful enterprise created by Greenville resident Eugenia Thomas Slade Duke (1881–1968). The building was virtually abandoned by 1958 and had fallen into disrepair before it was purchased in the 1980s by the Peace Center, a Greenville performing arts complex, which initially intended to restore the building. After financial constraints prevented the remodeling, the building was gutted, turned into an open-air pavilion, and named for Tommy Wyche (1926–2015) and his wife Harriet, leaders in the transformation of downtown Greenville. In 2019, following the development of Falls Park, the Peace Center proposed to install windows, doors, and HVAC equipment in order to transform the building into "a fully-functioning performance venue, featuring state of the art sound and lighting". Despite two design proposals, the second of which included a recommendation by city planners, Greenville's Design Review Board rejected the Peace Center plans by a vote of 3–2. References
Daniel Library

The Daniel Library is the main library of The Citadel, and is located on the college's Charleston, South Carolina campus. The library holds approximately 180,000 volumes in addition to extensive digital collections. History Originally consisting of a single room in The Citadel Academy's campus at Marion Square from 1842, the Cadet Library continued to expand and evolve throughout the college's history. When The Citadel moved to its present location, a library space was constructed in Bond Hall. In 1960, a dedicated structure was completed and known as "The Memorial Library and Museum." The building was renamed in 1972 in honor of Charles E. Daniel, '18 and Robert Hugh Daniel, '29, both lifelong benefactors of the college. Structure and renovations The Daniel Library building was completed in 1960, and is situated on The Citadel's campus along the Avenue of Remembrance and next to Summerall Chapel. It is a three-story building, with stucco exterior in the same Spanish Moorish-style as other buildings on campus. Major renovations were completed in the fall of 2010, which added a central staircase and revamped first and second floor spaces to add technology, group study spaces, and other updating on the then-half century old building. The renovations cost $2.2 million and were financed entirely with private donations, with the lead gift coming from the Daniel Foundation of Alabama, founded by the namesakes of the Library. The Citadel Archives and Museum The third floor of the building houses the campus archives and museum. Digital holdings of letters, diaries, and records are also made available online, and display cases, murals, and other exhibits are displayed throughout the library. Among other exhibits, the Museum features displays on cadet life in earlier years and a collection of class rings dating to 1895. Elsewhere in the library are exhibits relating to author Pat Conroy and swords carried in active military service by alumni including Charles Courtenay Tew and James B. White. The archives also host an extensive Oral History program. References
Charleston Naval Shipyard

Der Charleston Navy Yard war eine am Westufer des Cooper River gelegene Bau- und Reparaturwerft der US Navy in North Charleston, South Carolina. Sie wurde 1909 als Trockendock gegründet und bis 1996 von der Marine betrieben. Danach wurde sie im Zuge des Abbaus von Kapazitäten an Detyens Shipyards, Inc. vermietet. Die Werft produzierte als erstes Schiff den Zerstörer USS Tillman (DD-135) und erweiterte die Produktion in den 1930er Jahren. Insgesamt wurden 21 Zerstörer im Charleston Navy Yard auf Kiel gelegt. In jüngerer Zeit wird ein 340 Acre großer Bereich der früheren Basis als umweltverträgliche Drehscheibe für die Stadt North Charleston wiederbelebt. Das Bauprojekt trägt den Namen The Navy Yard. Die Grundsteinlegung fand 2005 statt. Weblinks Geschichtliches (engl.)
Charleston Naval Shipyard

«Чарлстон Нейвал Шипярд» (англ. Charleston Naval Shipyard), або Чарлстонська військово-морська верф — американська компанія, розташована на річці Купер у місті Норт-Чарлстон, Південна Кароліна, що спеціалізувалася на суднобудуванні та судноремонті у XX столітті. На цій верфі, заснованій у 1901 році, під час Другої світової війни проводилися значні кораблебудівні роботи. Вище за течією був розташований склад боєприпасів. У 1945 році військово-морське відомство реорганізувало різні види суднобудівельної діяльності в Чарлстоні, створивши єдину військово-морську базу Чарлстон. Складовою частиною бази став флотський двір. Багато зусиль було витрачено в перші повоєнні роки на утилізацію надлишкових матеріалів. База стала основним місцем списання та зберігання кораблів, що повертаються після походів. У 1948 році Чарлстонська військово-морська верф була призначена одним з головних заводів з ремонту підводних човнів. Верф також активувала численні законсервовані судна для використання під час Корейського конфлікту. До 1951 року кількість робітників, зайнятих на верфі, майже подвоїлася, досягши понад 8000 працівників. Наприкінці 1950-х років на місці колишньої військово-морської авіабази на південь від основної бази були розташовані нові об'єкти військово-морської мінно-промислової бази, школи мінної війни та навчального центру флоту. Також наприкінці 1950-х років ВМС вирішили перемістити два ескадрені міноносці до Чарлстона. Склад боєприпасів також став домом для ракетного підводного озброєння «Поларіс». У 1970-х роках завод був визнаний низькопродуктивним. Але, вплив після закінчення війни у В'єтнамі зменшився, оскільки на Чарлстон перевели роботи із закритої Бостонської військово-морської верфі.

Robert Mills Manor

The Robert Mills Manor is housing complex located in Harleston Village in Charleston, South Carolina that is included on the National Register. History Plans for a new housing complex began in May 1935 when the Public Works Administration decided to allocate $1.5 million to Charleston to clear slums and redevelop the land with new housing. The affordable rent was to pay off the cost of the project over 40 years. The area included in the project was densely filled with dilapidated wooden houses with a few brick houses but also several large public buildings. At first, the city's new Charleston Housing Authority planned to demolish the old Medical College, the Old Charleston Jail, and the Jenkins Orphanage (which operated out of the old Marine Hospital). In January 1938, a third set of plans were submitted by city officials which would have demolished the Old Charleston Jail (except for the wall around the yard), would have used the ruins of the old Medical College (at the northeast corner of Franklin and Queen Sts.) as a recreation building, and would have converted the old Marine Hospital into apartments. At a meeting on September 15, 1938, the project was named in honor of Robert Mills, the South Carolina architect for several notable public buildings including the Marine Hospital and part of the Old City Jail. Bids for the demolition of about seventy houses were opened in October 1938. The new buildings were designed by Housing Architects Associated. The only houses that were spared for architectural merit were 59 and 63 Beaufain St. and 1 Franklin St. (also known as 34 Magazine St.). Samuel Lapham VI was the principal architect for the project and considered it a good example of Charleston style. On February 8, 1938, a building permit for $432,032 was issued for the new construction. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on February 11, 1939, at which Nathan Straus, administrator of the United States Housing Authority, spoke. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Dorsey were the first occupants of the new development when they moved into 105-H Logan St. on October 16, 1939. The project was planned as a Whites-only housing complex. In 1964, the National Urban League appealed to President Lyndon Johnson to desegregate Charleston's public housing on the basis of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Architecture The original plans called for six two-story buildings with six apartments each and six eight-apartment buildings on the north side of Cromwell Alley. The project was extended between Pitt and Logan Sts. on the south side of Beaufain St. Four more eight-apartment buildings were to be built along Magazine St. between Wilson and Logan Sts. All of the buildings were to be of unpainted brick, using brick salvaged from the demolitions of existing buildings on the site. The Preservation Society of Charleston opposed plans to alter the high brick wall that surrounded the Old Jail. The Charleston Housing Authority rejected the request and decided to substantially lower the height of the wall to allow more light into the yard of the Old Jail. References
