Nimitz Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nimitz Hill is the home of the United States Navy Commander Naval Forces Marianas located on the southern half of the island of Guam. It overlooks Talofofo Bay on its western edge.

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center was established at Nimitz Hill in 1959, but Typhoon Karen destroyed the center in 1962. After being rebuilt in 1965, it remained until January 1, 1999 when the center was relocated to Pearl Harbor following the Base Realignment and Closure legislation of 1995.[1] Nimitz Hill is is also home to former United States Naval family housing.
