Naval Air Station Tillamook

Naval Air Station Tillamook, located just south of Tillamook, Oregon, was a U.S. Naval Air Station during World War II. Commissioned in 1942 and decommissioned in 1948, it was used primarily to house blimps. The station was the base of operations for Squadron ZP-33, with a complement of 8 K-ships. Each hangar was designed to house up to six blimps.

US Naval Air Station Dirigible Hangar B, listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, is on the station.
