Abstract
This article reports the social impact of a large naval base on a local community. The effects of the base are discussed in terms of three themes: (1) a restructuring of the local stratification system, (2) a shift from agrarian and fishing to postindustrial social patterns, and (3) the intermeshing of the community with the outside world. Systematic comparisons are made with another community that was similar to the impacted community, but that did not become the location of a major military installation.
