Bugg Springs. I grew up in New London, CT, the home of the Naval Underwater Sound Lab. They develop sonar and other underwater military scientific stuff. Bugg Springs is one of their test facilities for sonar devices. It's somewhat unique because it's very deep yet small in surface area. The facility is supposedly still in use. I'd love to know if there are people in the area who worked there and have any interesting stories.
