Yorktown, Va. (March 10, 2026) Pictured here are some of the new, earth-covered weapons magazines located onboard Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. These new, state-of-the-art magazines represent a significant upgrade to the installation’s ordnance capabilities and replaces outdated weapons magazines that were previously in use since the Cold War era. The completion of this new magazine group is the first of several military construction projects onboard the installation. The new, earth-covered weapons magazines were completed in early 2026 and feature wider doors and larger handling areas to improve safety and efficiency for personnel. The magazines include advanced safety features such as specialized lighting and ventilation, and offer unmatched levels of blast resistance. This critical modernization ensures that the Navy Munitions Command Atlantic onboard the installation has secure, unmatched state-of-the-art facilities to store, maintain and dispense a diverse array of ordnance.
