Download or read book The Seabees at Port Hueneme written by Gina Nichols and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-04-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942, the navy sought a location for an advance base on the West Coast to ship construction materiel, equipment, and men into World War II's Pacific theater. Port Hueneme's deepwater harbor, rail system, and rural setting made it the ideal site from which to send 20 million measurement tons of war materiel and a quarter of a million men onto island specks that later became headlines: Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the Philippines. Seabees later deployed from Port Hueneme to serve in the Korean, Vietnam, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and Iraqi conflicts, as well as in peacetime, for more than 60 years. Charged with building air bases, ports, combat camps, hospitals, and other support facilities as part of military and humanitarian efforts around the world, the Seabees remain at home in Port Hueneme.

Download or read book Seabee Book Can Do written by William Bradford Huie and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Seabees by the famous author William Bradford Huie. This was Huie's first book about the Seabees. He wrote it while in the Navy Seabees. He was an assistant to Vice Admiral Ben Moreell, the "Father" of the Seabees.The Seabees were born of dire need at a time of national peril. The country was stunned by the blow at Pearl Harbor. Most of the men who joined theSeabees could have avoided military service [because of their age] had they chosen to do so, but it is a characteristic of the Seabees that they have a highly developed sense of individual responsibility to “get this thing over with.” Lieutenant Huie is to be complimented on the work which he has performed in setting forth the accomplishments and ideals of the Seabees and the spirit by which they are animated. This spirit can be summarized by quoting from an answer to a questionnaire distributed to a battalion of Seabees by their Chaplain. Among other questions was this one: “What can we do to make you more content?” and the answer was: “Nothing, I got in this outfit to give, not to get.” ––Ben Moreell Vice Admiral, Civil Engineer Corps, U.S. Navy

Download or read book The Seabees at Gulfport written by Gina L. Nichols and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-28 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1942, the U.S. Navy established an advance base depot in Gulfport because of its uncrowded deepwater port, rail access, open land, and a tepid climate that permitted training and open port facilities year-round. The base became the southern home for the Seabees and was ideal for shipping construction materiel and men to the Caribbean or the Pacific via the Panama Canal. Since the base reopened in March 1966, Seabees have deployed from Gulfport to serve during major conflicts as well as in peacetime. Seabees from Gulfport played an integral part in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and more recently deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq to assist in local construction efforts to rebuild both countries. Seabees assist thousands each year in international humanitarian projects while still calling Gulfport home.
