| Description: |
- This is a typical US Navy sundial designed by RADM Farenholt. Brass, 18 inch inches (46cm) in diameter. It was installed at the Nevada site when it was a US Navy Ammunition Depot. The motto is in Spanish (a characteristic only found on the Naval Hospital Mare Island (1919), Naval Hospital San Diego (1924), Naval Ammunition Depot Hawthorne (1930), and Naval Air Station Sunnyvale (1933) dials. Note that the Spanish motto was used in the West, identical to Naval Air Station, Sunnyvale and nearly that of Naval Hospital Mare Island ("Hoye" on the Hathorne and Sunnyvale dials and "Hoyen" on the Mare Island dial). All other Farenholt sundials have unique mottos.
