The (former) Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS) is the geographic center of the San Francisco Bay Area and occupies the western one-third of the island of Alameda. Within the Station's four square miles are a major airfield, deepwater port, aircraft and ship maintenance facilities, 1,513 units of family housing and barracks-type housing, industrial, retail, warehouse and recreational facilities.
Note the USS hornet at the pier and the fake highway where the runways cross that was used for filming The Matrix.
