From the Wikipedia article
Rosneath naval base (HMS Rosneath) was a naval base, constructed on the Rosneath peninsula, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. close to the village of Rosneath. The construction of the base started in July 1941, in response to American expectations that they would be shortly entering World War II. In June 1945, the base was decommissioned, then fell into disuse and was finally closed in 1948. Sometime after 1948, the base was demolished and was replaced by new housing, a school and a church. Little remains of the base.
