This photo is of our new barracks for single enlisted men. I believe it was completed in 1966. It was deluxe accommodations compared to the old barracks. It housed four men to a room with real furniture and a wardrobe instead of a locker. A desk and lounge chairs were also provided.

  1. I watched the construction of this building, but never saw it completed. I was transferred to the USS Northampton CC-1 and then to the USS Sellers DDG-11.

  2. David, I was there before this building was even an idea. I was in the old barracks and there was a separate little beer hall. Beer was $0.10 a can! Dewey Young 8/55-10/59
