ATTU ISLAND, Alaska - Boards cover the lower windows of the Loran C station on Attu Island Aug. 27, 2010, during the decommissiong ceremony. The building at Massacre Bay, originally a Navy weather observatory was converted to a Loran A and then Loran C station in 1960 and the site will be hardened to a BRAC III level for possible use in the future as DoD and Coast Guard environmental clean up and Japanese soldier repatriation activites take place over the next five years.
