Rosneath naval base (HMS Rosneath) was a naval base, constructed on the Rosneath peninsula, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.[1] close to the village of Rosneath.[2] The construction of the base started in July 1941, in response to American expectations that they would be shortly entering World War II.[3] In June 1945, the base was decommissioned, then fell into disuse and was finally closed in 1948.[3]
