Significance: Due to the crucial role it played in the Nation's defense during the twentieth century and the calamitous events which occurred on December 7, 1941, the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was designated a National Historic Landmark. Ford Island, which is centrally located in Pearl Harbor's waters and one of the main targets during the 1941 attack, is the site of Building 37. In the 1930's, as the Army completed the construction of Hickam field, Ford Island was partially occupied by the Army Air Corps, with Luke field. The southern portion of the island was occupied by Naval Air Station Ford Island, which mainly operated seaplanes that could enter the harbor via seaplane ramps. Hangars such as Building 37 were used to maintain and store these seaplanes. Ford Island was also the mooring site for battleships such as the USS Arizona.
