PH-99 (control site) Eureka (Warrington Township)_A "double site," originally constructed with a total of six magazines and 22 launchers of the "UU"or DoubleUniversal design. Total magazine capacity for the site was 60 Ajax or 36 Hercules missiles. Notably, when the site was converted to Hercules, from April 1958 to June 1959, all 22 launchers were converted for Hercules firing. Nationally, most double sites had only half of their launchers converted. Site 99 was also significant for its service as the battalion command post for the Nike batteries covering Philadelphia's north side.
