Carl enters the ship through its rear bay, then flies away in a Hydra which he uses to destroy Tropics in the Sherman Reservoir, before safely landing the aircraft at Verdant Meadows. The base is featured during the mission Vertical Bird, in which government agent Mike Toreno orders CJ to sneak onto LHD-069 and steal a Hydra from it. On rare occurrences, civilian pedestrians, including prostitutes, may walk into the base from nearby streets.Įaster Basin Naval Station appears to be based on the former Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco. Military officers will not spawn, as they are not able to spawn on foot in paths. The base has defined pedestrian paths, allowing police officers to spawn in the base when the player is wanted. The LHD features surface-to-air missiles, however these are only used during the mission Vertical Bird, and are disabled outside of this mission.
The player will be granted a 5-star wanted level upon entry, be it on-foot, inside any type of vehicle, or flying low above the site. Like Area 69, Easter Basin Naval Station is a restricted area. Behind the main base, a Barracks can spawn, and a military-styled Patriot can spawn near the LHD. Several exterior docking points around the base also serve as spawn locations for the Reefer.Ī large courtyard at the southern quarter of the base as it merges with the main road creates a triangular section where a Hunter may spawn after all-Gold completions of Flight School. It consists of three entrances, the north-most of which may serve as a spawn point for the Launch. The submarine pen appears to serve as storage and shelter for equipment and boats. A Hydra and Vortex can spawn on the LHD after completing missions. The base consists of a large submarine pen, several coastal docking points and a multipurpose amphibious assault ship, LHD-069.
