USS Rancocas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Rancocas is the nickname of a test facility in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
While not a commissioned ship in the U.S. Navy, it is staffed by Navy personnel. It is located between Hartford Road and CR-537 in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and looks like a warehouse with the top of a naval cruiser sitting on the roof. It is used by Lockheed Martin for Aegis research.
Because the facility is plainly visible from Interstate 295 and the New Jersey Turnpike, it has become something of a landmark for local residents and travelers. Area residents frequently refer to it as the "Cornfield Cruiser".
