- Quonset Point ist eine kleine Halbinsel in der Narragansett Bay im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Rhode Island. Sie gehört vollständig zum Gebiet der Stadt North Kingstown. Quonset Point war von 1941 bis 1974 der Standort des Marineflughafens Quonset Point, einer großen Marinebasis der United States Navy. Hier waren zwischen 1950 und 1970 zahlreiche US-Kriegsschiffe stationiert, darunter die USS Tarawa (CV-40), die USS Essex (CV-9), die USS Wasp (CV-18) und die USS Intrepid (CV-11). Der spätere Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten Richard Nixon durchlief hier 1942 seine Grundausbildung zum Offizier. (de)
- Quonset Point (/ˈkwɒnsɪt/), also known simply as Quonset, is a small peninsula in Narragansett Bay in the town of North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Its name is widely known from the Quonset hut, which was first manufactured there. Quonset is an Algonquian word meaning "small, long place". Quonset Point was the location of Naval Air Station Quonset Point, a large United States Navy base. The peninsula is now used for industrial purposes and is partially abandoned. A major industry located there is a hull-fabrication and outfitting facility for Electric Boat Corporation. It was also home to Camp Endicott, home to the Atlantic fleet Seabees. Quonset Point is currently home to Quonset State Airport which is a joint civil-military public airport home to the Quonset Point Air National Guard Station and the 143d Airlift Wing (143 AW) of the Rhode Island Air National Guard, flying the C-130J Hercules. Rhode Island Route 403 is a freeway branching from Rhode Island Route 4 that serves the area. Quonset is also served by a railroad spur from Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. The Providence and Worcester Railroad provides freight service along this stretch of the Corridor. (en)
