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.
