Seabee Book NAVAL CONSTRUCTION BATTALION CENTER DAVISVILLE,
Davisville, Rhode Island a Historical Perspective 1942-1994 1.From
its first days, the "Original Home of the SEABEES" has had a rich
and famous history since it was established as the Davisville
Advanced Base Depot, February 27,1942. This was just eighty-two
days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Since then it has provided
vital support to meet our country's needs in World War II, the
Korean and Vietnam Conflicts, Operation Deep Freeze, and finally.
Desert shield/Desert Storm, 2.Lasting achievements, i.e., the
Quonset Hut and the DavisviIle Pontoons, were developed here at the
Seabee Center. This Center has schooled and trained thousands of
officers and tens of thousands of Seabees. CBC Davisville also
provided significant planning and support to Operation Deep Freeze
in Antarctica and Project Reindeer on Diego Garcia. These
accomplishments only touch upon the significant world events this
Center has been party to. Additionally, there are untold hundreds
of associations we have been a part of with our Community, the
State of Rhode Island, New England, the Navy, the United States,
and most importantly, the families of our seabees and civilians.
3.Our history as a Seabee Center is recorded in many books similar
to this one. Our history as a Seabee Center was written by its
people, I have had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of former
seabees and civilians who have told of what the Seabee Center has
done for them. Seabees who learned not only a career, but a way of
I ife. Many of these people have made life long friendships.
Civilians, who raised families and made the "American Dream" a
reality. These people remember the good things, like sleeping in
muddy foxholes, working around the clock to get a ship loaded,
standing watches on holidays. These are only a sampling of what has
been shared with me over time. Do not believe for one instant that
my new friends were complaining. They were sincerely thrilled with
the fact that they were as much a part of this Seabee Center as it
is a part of them. They are truly thankful for the part they keep
with them. 4. I know, without a doubt, that the history of the
Davisville Seabee Center is the people who built its reputation
through outstanding service to the United States of America, This
document is an attempt to record the events that justify the
history written by the Center's family of Seabees and civilians.
