Mace launch complex. Launcher 1. In the mid-1950s, a launch area near the Cape Lighthouse was set aside for complexes 21 and 22 to support the Air Force's winged Bull Goose decoy missile project. Construction started in 1956, and the Air Force accepted both complexes on 26 February 1957. In 1959 and 1960, the sites were rebuilt to support Mace winged cruise missile launches. The last Mace was launched in 1963, and the complexes remained dormant pending reassignment to another program. Both complexes were finally deactivated in the early 1970s.
