The archive documents Billingen staff rock facility as a naval wartime headquarters in a rock cavern. Its documented role was wartime headquarters for Marindistrikt Väst with stores and workshops. Billingen cavern expanded westward with stores, workshops and two-storey wartime staff/command accommodation.

Scope lock. Functional recreation of the documented facility in Sweden using current construction methods and 2026 prices, preserving the documented capacity, protection, autonomy and redundancy. Ex VAT; excluding land, financing, remediation, classified mission equipment and data-centre hardware. The article spans a naval-base campus and several distinct rock facilities. In 1939 Älvsborg Radio was built at Nya Varvet, a staff rock room was blasted in Billingen's east side around 1942, and the short-wave station received a separate rock room on Hängest…
