The Secret History of the Nevada Navy

The history of the Nevada Navy is clouded in secrecy. Firmly denied by US Navy and every other US government agency, the state of Nevada, and any other nation, the Nevada Navy can't exist. Really. It can't. That may be. But according to this secret history, the Nevada Navy has a base inside Anaho Island at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. Landlocked. About 400 miles from the Pacific Ocean. So how is it, after 150 years, that the Nevada Navy has been sending submarines around the world's oceans? Can't be. Yet how to explain that this same Anaho Island was mysteriously declared a white pelican nesting preserve in 1913 by Woodrow Wilson? White pelicans? And someone would care that much about white pelicans in 1913? Really? Then Anaho was declared a National Wildlife Refuge in 1940 by FDR's administration. Why would Anaho be declared a National Wildlife Refuge when it was already in the middle of an Indian reservation with restricted access anyway? So now, no one but rangers can come within 500 feet of the 247-acre island. And Anaho is a small island in a landlocked desert lake in the middle of a landlocked state. Thanks to the United States government. So this is the story of that secret history, beginning in 1850, and told through Indian wars, the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's intervention. Plus a well-covered up naval battle between the Union and France, and the development of technologies to support combat search and rescues and disaster relief on the world's oceans.
