What is under Yukosuka?

My son is a Navy man stationed in Yukosuka Navy Base. He arranged for us to go on a tour with him down into/under the base. Here we are gathered in the biggest room in the part that is currently in use.
This is a meeting room underground in that section. As is the photo below.
Below shows the space around the inside core which is made modern for working in.

Here we take off and go into the tunnels. These were made by the Japanese before/during the war. When USA knew they would be coming into Japan, orders were given to protect Yukosuka as the Navy wanted to be able to use this wonderful port....and these other unknown parts of the area.
