There is a lot of controversy surrounding Isla Vieques, as the US Military used the island for target practice for over 50 years. Finally, tiring of it in 1976, the larger Vieques became the target to bomb. Finally, in 2003, the Navy left here and the 18,000 acre Naval Base became the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge. Even today there are some unexploded bombs in the Refuge.
