* On the topic of the US Civil War, part of the Union's Anaconda Plan was to capture coastal islands to use as refueling ports to support a NavalBlockade of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. In the Atlantic, such islands included those in North Carolina's Outer Banks near Cape Hatteras and those near Port Royal between Charleston and Savannah; in the Gulf the Florida Keys were used as an initial staging point before the Union Navy moved on to Ship Island off the Mississippi coast to use as a closer jump-off point to New Orleans and the lower Mississippi River.

* Most notable examples are with The ''Film/JamesBond'' villains.films feature several examples:



** ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice''. Blofeld's rocket base is under an extinct volcano on the Japanese island of Matsu.
** Blofeld held headquarters on an oil rig in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', technically an island.
** Kananga's island of San Monique in ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', but it isn't really isolated: it has a tourist trade. Too bad -- poppy fields, voodoo totems with guns, [[EnigmaticMinion Baron Samedi]], and a SharkPool.
** Francisco Scaramanga's private island in ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', famously filmed in the Phang Nga Bay in UsefulNotes/{{Thailand}}.
** Stromberg's Atlantis base in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' is a giant platform that can both rise above the sea and submerge itself.
** Silva's island in ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' [[GhostTown used to be inhabited]], until he faked a chemical leak, causing the inhabitants to evacuate.
** In ''Film/NoTimeToDie'', Lyutsifer Safin has a former Soviet base on (seemingly) one of the Kuril islands, which are disputed between Russia and Japan ([[CaliforniaDoubling actually filmed]] on the UsefulNotes/FaroeIslands). Unlike other examples it's a justified trope as the ElaborateUndergroundBase was already built by someone else, and workers are shown in the process of turning it into a SupervillainLair.
