It was closed in 1968 . History . Guthrie Air Force Station was one of twenty - eight stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent Air Defense Command network . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the second segment of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . The 783d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron began operating an AN / FPS - 3 search radar and an AN / FPS - 4 height - finder radar from this site on 16 April 1951 , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . In 1958 these units were replaced by an AN / FPS - 20 search radar and an AN / FPS - 6 height - finder radar , respectively . During 1962 Guthrie AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , initially feeding data to DC - 06 at Custer AFS , Michigan . After joining , the squadron was redesignated as the 783d Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 July 1962 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . In 1962 the search radar was upgraded and redesignated as an AN / FPS - 67 . A second AN / FPS - 6 height - finder radar was added in 1963 , and on 31 July , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 43 . One AN / FPS - 6 was then retired in 1966 . In addition to the main facility , Guthrie operated four unmanned AN / FPS - 18 Gap Filler sites : The Air Force discontinued the 783d Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 18 June 1968 ; the station was closed on 30 June . Today most of the installation was still in use by various state organizations , mainly the Guthrie Agricultural Center of the WV Department of Agriculture , Forestry Service , and Health Department . Although the radar towers had been removed , the foundations of the AN / FPS - 67 and the AN / FPS - 6 are quite visible . Most of the buildings are well - maintained , and many now have vinyl siding on them . The houses of the original housing area are occupied as family residences ; however , a second housing area on the adjacent hilltop are abandoned and deteriorating . External links .

Chatham Naval Memorial Chatham Naval Memorial is a large obelisk situated in the town of Chatham , Kent , which is in the Medway Towns . The memorial is now the main feature of " The Great Line Heritage Park " . The huge expanse of the Great Lines was in its own right a layer of defence to protect Chatham Dockyard from attack . Chatham was a principal manning port of the Royal Navy during the First World War and thus was dedicated as the site of one of three memorials to sailors of the Royal Navy killed during the conflict but who have no grave . The other memorials were situated at Portsmouth and Plymouth . The obelisks were designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and the one at Chatham originally contained 8 , 515 names . It is made of Portland stone with bronze plaques in 1920 . It has steps up to a plinth with inscription plaques , and projecting corners with reclining lions , beneath a stepped base to the obelisk , which has a stepped top to an elaborate finial with corner ships prows and bronze supports to a ball . After the Second World War and its consequent loss of life , the decision was made to expand the three memorials and so the Chatham Naval Memorial was created from the ' Chatham Obelisk ' and was given a surround designed by Sir Edward Maufe which contains 10 , 098 additional names from the later conflict . The surround is also made of Portland Stone , with bronze plaques . It has two pavilions ; north and south which look out towards Chatham . Along the surround are 4 portland stone statues of sailors . The Grade II listed memorial is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission . The memorial featured prominently in the 1996 novel " Last Orders " by British author Graham Swift , as did the Medway Towns . The novel was adapted into a film and directed by Australasian director Fred Schepisi and starred inter alia Sir Michael Caine , Bob Hoskins , Ray Winstone and Helen Mirren . The memorial featured in a number of scenes . Further information . " Further information see Commonwealth War Graves database page "
