Pacific Ocean

The Pacific is an ocean off of the west coast 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 devastating 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 in Fallout 76.
