There are several Navy VLF transmitters still in operation according to
Wiki

There's one in Cutler, Maine,Â* another in Washington state, one in
Australia and another in Hawaii.Â*Â* The one in Australia is no longer
operated by the US or Australian Navy.Â* It's operation has been
subcontracted to Raytheon Australia.

I spent a total of four years at two different transmitter sites with
VLF equipment.Â* The one in Ponce, Puerto Rico and the one in Annapolis
have since been decommissioned.
