  • Quonset Point ist eine kleine Halbinsel in der Narragansett Bay im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Rhode Island. Sie gehört vollständig zum Gebiet der Stadt North Kingstown. Quonset Point war von 1941 bis 1974 der Standort des Marineflughafens Quonset Point, einer großen Marinebasis der United States Navy. Hier waren zwischen 1950 und 1970 zahlreiche US-Kriegsschiffe stationiert, darunter die USS Tarawa (CV-40), die USS Essex (CV-9), die USS Wasp (CV-18) und die USS Intrepid (CV-11). Der spätere Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten Richard Nixon durchlief hier 1942 seine Grundausbildung zum Offizier. (de)
