Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this important project report provides a methodological and historical framework for the identification and evaluation of significant Cold War resources associated with the Navy's guided missile program. The study examines the technological developments associated with the Navy's guided missile program, as well as the evolution of its research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) mission; educational and training activities; and logistical operations. This demonstration project was conducted as part of Legacy's Cold War Task Area, which was established under Legacy's ninth legislative purpose. Cold War material culture encompasses a wide range of resources, including textual and nontextual materials, artifacts, buildings, structures, sites, objects, and landscapes. This project was intended to provide guidance in identifying and evaluating real property located on Navy installations; the study does not address written materials or museum artifacts. The study also does not address real property beyond the realm of Navy bases, such as defense contractor sites owned by the Department of the Navy.
