  • It's 240 feet wide, 360 feet long, and holds over twelve million gallon of water. This is the MASK, the maneuvering and seakeeping basin at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Carderock.
    It's one of the largest indoor oceans in the world, making the MASK the most advanced test facility of its kind.
    So why does the Navy need an indoor ocean? The truth lies in these dimly-lit, somewhat mysterious waters.

    I worked at Carderock 1972-1977 and enjoyed it greatly. Met my wife there. It's a unique facility in all the world. Built in the 1930s to replace a tiny facility down at the Washington Navy Yard. The main tow tank is 5/8 of a mile long and built to conform to the curvature of the earth, which they did without the aid of computers or lasers. Back in the 1970s the USA Olympic Kayak Team would sometimes train in there. Lots of scientific disciplines on the campus; about 2000 employees and usually about 200 are PhD types. At one time they had some German wind tunnels brought over after WW-2. There is a huge storage room under the east end of the main tow tank that looks like that scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark where they keep putting large boxes into storage. It was a memorable 4.5 years of my working life.
