Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is a body of water to the west of the United States.

Background
Before the war, one of the last known pockets of oil was discovered 175 miles off the coast of California. The United States successfully constructed an oil rig to procure the resource. The nuclear reactor in the platform created significant levels of pollution in the surrounding ocean water, carried along with the currents, causing ecological damage to the coast of Mexico. The state of Hawaii is located in the mid-Pacific.

Appearances
The Pacific Ocean appears in Fallout and Fallout 2, and is mentioned in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76.
