This Navaid is not in the United States.
It is named after the city where it is located, and services a large airport 3.1 miles away, which has the same three letter (IATA) code. 
That airport's four letter (ICAO) designator is also an English word for something that might keep you from seeing a VOR!
The area was the location of a WWII naval battle, which was not successful the first time for the Allies. 
The city and its harbor was a prize for the Japanese, as it had a huge oil industry, which Japan needed for fuel.

The answer is Scholes (VUH), Texas. 

The disasters are the 1900 Galveston hurricane and the 1947 Texas City explosion.

Moody Gardens is adjacent to the Scholes International Airport at Galveston (GLS).

This Navaid is in the United States, at a former airline hub.

It will remain in the Minimum Operational Network, but there's an
RNAV waypoint at the same location which brings to mind a criminal.

The answer is Nashville, Tennessee (BNA)

This navaid is at an airport in the United States.  
The airport serves and is located between three cities, and its (and the navaid's) three-letter identifier contains the first letter of each city. 
Those three letters are actually the name of the airport!  
But the navaid is named after the largest one (barely) of those cites.  
A popular song of the 1960s mentions spending several days trying to get a ride out of that city.

This navaid is located outside the United States, on an island. 
It’s close to an air base that has been used by the U.S. military for many years.
The navaid and the air base are both named after the nearby town.
Its identifier is not the same as the airport, which has commercial airline service, and is also a popular fuel stop.
Speaking of fuel, there’s a famous incident that occurred here with an Airbus that wasn’t planning to stop here…
There is a TACAN station on the field, oddly it is not co-located with the VOR.
