Bolthole, also called Operation Bolthole, was a highly secret research and development program of the Havenite Navy, after 1915 PD supervised by Vice Admiral Shannon Foraker.

In the four years following the cessation of hostilities with the Manticoran Alliance, Bolthole's scientists succeeded in developing LAC carriers, modern-standard light attack crafts and pod-laying superdreadnoughts, among other systems.

Its existence was only revealed to prevent Arnold Giancola from disclosing it for personal, partisan advantage. (HH10)

Despite their best efforts, the intelligence services of the Manticoran Alliance were unable to discover its exact location until the end of the Second Havenite-Manticoran War. (HH11)
