Didnt make it before the end of least bread, but Hawthorne is a tiny little nothing in the middle of nowhere that serves as the worlds largest ammo depot, and an all around strange ass place, as anybody who has driven through it can tell you.
There is also a Naval Undersea Warfare Center and is said to have a sub base and connect to Lake Tahoe, and further out like Monterey Bay in CA.
Hawthorne Army Depot (HWAD) is a U.S. Army ammunition storage depot located near the town of Hawthorne in western Nevada in the United States. It is directly south of Walker Lake. The depot covers 147,000 acres (59,000 ha) or 226 sq. mi. and has 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) storage space in 2,427 bunkers. HWAD is the "World's Largest Depot" and is divided into three ammunition storage and production areas, plus an industrial area housing command headquarters, facilities engineering shops, etc.
