Pretty nice museum. Lots of cool stuff. I was there a few times and enjoyed it very much. If you’re in the neighborhood….

It does look promising! Is it down where the Floating Drydock was located?

It is right at the main gate where the off base parking (Cove?) lot used to be.

Yes, it's located in what was once Goss Cove or ,as I liked to say, "The sin bin" for speeding on base and illegal parking on base.

Now that I see the map , wasn't the Floating Drydock moored down there?
(Not to mention a DE type (Reserve?) ship.)

That was further up river by the southern end of the pier.

That was the Vogelgesang when I was at SSF NLon. I do not remember what the DD was before then. There was an FTG1 on there by the name of Cecil (Dennis) Hooker. When I went to Subschool he was a FTCM!
