Location
Located at Palikir on Ponape Island.

Construction
Built by the Japanese Navy, under the command of Captain Kitawaga who also oversaw its defense. Once completed, it was never used operationally. Supposedly, it was bombed as soon as it was completed.

FSM Capital
On the site of the former airfield, the Government buildings for legislation and congress etc were built in the 1980s. The FSM government offices are all located here, also the president's office and the offices of the leaders from the other FSM islands. This is where all the congress-type business is attended to and so this mini village is called the FSM Capital. Nobody actually lives here it si offices only.
