Adak, Military port in Aleutian Islands, United States
The city occupies 127 square miles on Adak Island, combining land mass of 122 square miles with 5 square miles of water territory.
During World War II, the military base supported operations against Japanese forces on Kiska and Attu islands, later becoming a Naval Air Station.
The name originates from the Aleut word 'adaq,' reflecting the indigenous Unanga people who first inhabited these Aleutian Islands.
Alaska Airlines provides regular passenger service to Adak Airport, while the deep water port maintains connections for maritime transportation.
The population decreased from 6000 military personnel to 171 residents after the 1997 closure of the naval facilities.
