That tin hut looks like our HOME, where I spent the summer of 69'. There was one Q-hut for living, a small shed for the tanks, a class room/shower/head, and the dock,, about it..

We didn't eat with Navy,, We use to wade off the dock to collect Lobster for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. The missile site was still active so the Marine Patrol stayed 500 yds off Flemming and let us be..

Weekends we treated ourselves to Lumm's, then moved the party to a place called the White Horse Inn on Truman..

I think we were the last class to use the LPSS-315 Sealion for training. It was de-commissioned and sunk for target practice in Sept of 69'.

We started with 70 some, lost two good man using the Emerson C/C, and graduated 11 or 12??
