Yes,
the Navy wouldn't be the Navy without inspections!
Here we see
some of the enlisted members of Oceanographic Detachment Three formed
up on the starboard side next to number three hatch cover. Some sailors
look kind of awkward when standing at attention.
I
think that the inspecting
officer was a new CO of MSTS Atlantic. This view is looking forward on
the starboard side.
On
the south side of the very long pier at the Navy
Supply Center,
Bayonne. Tied up forward of USNS Michelson (right) was one of the MSTS
two stack luxury liners, a/k/a troopships. From
