Naval Ordnance Station Forest Park (NOSF) was in Forest Park, Illinois, United States. It was founded during World War II (1942-1945) as Naval Ordnance Plant Forest Park (NOPF).{{cite web|url=http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ref/USN-Act/IL.html|title=U.S. Naval Activities, World War II, by State [Illinois]|website=Ibiblio.org|accessdate=20 July 2018}} The Forest Park Station was instrumental in building torpedoes for the Navy, employing up to 6,500 workers and producing 19,000 torpedoes. Torpedo production was halted in 1945 and research and development was performed until the main plant was shuttered and converted into a mall in 1971.{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2005/09/05/old-torpedo-factory-hit-by-military-site-closings/|title=Old torpedo factory hit by military site closings|website=Articles.chicagotribune.com|access-date=20 July 2018}} The remaining facilities were turned into a Naval Reserve Center until it was finally closed in April 2007.{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2007/04/22/naval-reserve-center-ends-52-year-stint-in-forest-park/|title=Naval reserve center ends 52-year stint in Forest Park|website=Articles.chicagotribune.com|access-date=20 July 2018}}
