Ewa Marine Corps Air Station Barbers Point Naval Air Station was located less than a mile from the old runways of Ewa MCAS and became the Navy's center for aviation as aircraft required more space than Ford Island NAS in center of Pearl Harbor could offer.

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Local News Barbers Point Naval Air Station, an important element of Hawaii's military community, will close today after 57 years of service. William Cassidy, deputy assistant secretary for the Navy, said base closure communities like Barbers Point "are engaged in an evolution of the American economy." He said for years these communities depended on the "high-quality good-paying jobs" that the military provided, but bases had to be closed to meet changes in Navy force structure. Used by the Navy as a mooring location for its dirigible, Akron, the site was enlarged with the purchase of more than 3,500 acres from Campbell Estate in 1940 and redesignated Ewa Marine Corps Air Station. starbulletin.com /1999/07/01/news/story2.html
