Why the U.S. Built an Ocean in Nevada

Why the U.S. Built an Ocean in Nevada
In the middle of the Nevada desert, far from any coastline, the U.S. Navy built something that sounds impossible — an entire ocean.
Not a pool. Not a lake. A massive, deep, secret body of water built to test submarines during the Cold War.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s a true story of engineering genius and military secrecy. In this documentary, we uncover how and why the U.S. created the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Hawthorne Division, a top-secret facility that changed submarine warfare forever.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why the U.S. military built a hidden “ocean” in Nevada

How the Navy tested submarines hundreds of miles from any sea

The Cold War race for stealth and technological dominance

The groundbreaking experiments that shaped modern submarine design

And why, after 50 years, this incredible facility was finally shut down

From Cold War paranoia to mind-bending innovation, this story shows how far a nation will go to stay ahead — even if it means building an ocean where there should be none.

If you love untold military history, Cold War secrets, and stories that sound too crazy to be true — this is one you won’t forget.
