I am looking for information on any underwater facility at 5301 Bolsa Ave., Huntington Beach, Calif. It was apparently used by the MOL program when the site was the Douglas Missiles and Space Systems, and continued to be used for aerospace and later non-aerospace purposes over the next decades, as the site was part of McDonnell-Douglas, and Boeing.

In particular, I am hoping someone can pinpoint the building in which it was located. Looking at Google Earth photos, old images, and site maps, I am guessing that it might be in Bldg. 30, a semi-circular structure north of the main campus.

I would be delighted to hear from anyone who can confirm its location or provide any other information on underwater space simulators there or elsewhere in southern California.

Thanks in advance!
