United States Naval Station Tutuila
United States Naval Station Tutuila, Naval base and historic district in Fagatogo and Utulei, American Samoa.
The United States Naval Station Tutuila extends along Pago Pago Harbor, featuring sixteen buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Commander Richard Meade established the initial agreement for naval facilities in 1872, leading to the construction of a coaling station for Pacific operations.
The naval station commandants served dual roles as Military Governors of American Samoa, influencing local administration from 1900 to 1951.
Visitors can explore the former naval structures through a two-mile walking tour connecting the villages of Fagatogo and Utulei.
On January 11, 1942, a Japanese submarine fired fifteen shells at the station, with most projectiles landing in the harbor without causing major damage.
