A declassified Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) document, prepared in collaboration with the US Navy's Photographic Intelligence Center, sheds light on the strategic importance that Sazan Island had for Albanian military structures in the late 1950s.

The secret report, titled “Sazan Island, Albania” and dated July 1959, presents a detailed analysis based on aerial photographic reconnaissance. In the document, Sazan is described as a key military point, positioned at the entrance to the Gulf of Vlora, with an important role in controlling the entrance to the Adriatic Sea.

According to the report, the entire island was under full military control, with a permanent presence of Albanian army and navy units. The CIA notes that Sazan's defenses included several coastal artillery and anti-aircraft batteries of 85-100 mm caliber, equipped with radar guidance systems.

The document also mentions the identification of a possible position of the “TOKEN” type early warning radar, which was considered part of the island’s defense infrastructure.

According to the analysis of American intelligence, machine gun positions, bunkers and underground storage facilities were scattered throughout the territory of Sazan. These elements, according to the authors of the report, transformed the island into a fortified complex of particular strategic importance.

Special attention is also paid to San Nicolo Harbor, on the eastern side of the island. The CIA reported that a small naval base operated there, where Kronstadt-class patrol boats and several small torpedo boats were stationed.

The report also mentions the existence of a structure about 220 feet long, which was thought to be used for underwater repairs of patrol vehicles.

However, the document refutes some of the suspicions of the time. According to American intelligence, there was no photographic evidence to confirm the existence of a submarine base or an underground fuel depot in Sazan.

The report also highlights that no major construction or significant changes to the island's military infrastructure were noted, compared to previous observations.

The document is accompanied by maps, sketches and aerial photographs, identifying the main military facilities on the island. It demonstrates the high interest of American intelligence services in monitoring Albania's defense capabilities during the height of the Cold War, a period in which Sazani was considered a point of particular strategic importance for the control of the Adriatic.
