United States Navy Facility, Barbados
Naval Facility (NAVFAC) Barbados, TWI was the southernmost of the original Atlantic Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) shore terminals.  The facility commissioned on 1 October 1957, with a complement of about 12 officers and about 88 enlisted personnel. It was located at the site of Harrison's Point, in the Parish of Saint Lucy in the British colonial territory of Barbados of the West Indies.  

The facility was commissioned about one-month following the U.S. Navy Facility established in the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas where the first operational array had been installed in 1952. A significant event in SOSUS history occurred on 6 July 1962 when NAVFAC Barbados made the first detection and identification of a Soviet nuclear submarine off the coast of Norway as it entered the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap.

NAVFAC Barbados was operated by the United States Navy for twenty-two years and was officially decommissioned on 31 March 1979.
