This ship served as a surface-based station for tracking and communications for NASA's Project Syncom. Project Syncom's objective was to demonstrate the technology for synchronous orbit communication satellites. The first Syncom was launched on February 14, 1963.

Imperial Japan:
The destroyer Hatsushimo was a Hatsuharu-class destroyer originally laid down in 1933, that saw extensive service through the entirely of the Pacific War.
Hatsushimo is photographed here in 1947 in the spot that she was forcibly beached on 30 July 1945. In the incident in question she came under attack by carrier aircraft from Task Force 38 while en route to Maizuru naval base, and struck an air-dropped naval mine while performing evasive manoeuvers. She had to be run aground in Miyazu Bay to prevent the ship from sinking, 17 crew members were killed in the attack. Hatsushimo was the 129th and final Japanese destroyer lost in the war.
