Coco Solo is a former U.S. Navy base located in the Panama Canal Zone, near the city of Colón, Panama. It was primarily used as a naval support facility during World War II and the Cold War. Today, the area is largely abandoned, with remnants of the base still visible, and it is situated close to the entrance of the Panama Canal.
The Coco Solo Naval Air Station was located on the Atlantic Coast (East of the City of Colon) in what was the Panama Canal Zone, along with the Submarine Base. These facilities were turned over to the Panama Canal Government in 1958, when these bases were decommissioned (shut down by the Navy). The Coco Solo facilities, along with all the other facilities of the Panama Canal Zone, were turned over to the Panamanian Government as of October 2000. Presently, it is now known as The Manzanillo International Terminal.
