The claim: Lakehurst, 7,400
What it really is: Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst is the provider of full spectrum support for aircraft launch, recovery and support equipment systems for U.S. and allied Naval Aviation Forces at sea and Marine Corps Expeditionary Aviation Forces ashore.
The base was also the site of the Navy's lighter than air programs (i.e. airships, blimps) and still contains two huge hangers that once housed airships.
The base is also the site of the Hindenburg disaster.
