<snip>
On March 31 the U.S. Navy closed down the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Ceiba, Puerto Rico. The closing of the base, a victory for the progressive and pro-independence forces of this Caribbean nation, came after the Puerto Rican people won the fight to stop the Navy’s use of the island municipality of Vieques for bombing practice. The Roosevelt Road base was used to service the bombing practice and the Atlantic Fleet.

The Navy was forced to close down Camp García, the firing zone in Vieques, on May 1, 2003, after using the area for target practice since the 1940s. The Culebra bombing area closed after a similar fight in the 1970s. The closing of Roosevelt Roads leaves only one U.S. Navy base in the Caribbean – the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba.
