Foreword This book is being published in order char the personnel of MCB #1
may have a dearer picture of what r.he bar.talion has done on previous operations and what may be expected of them in the future.
We of che sraff have endeavored to cover every operation of the Battalion. Following rhe Commissioning of MCB #1, at Little Creek, Virginia, the
first operation was Vieques, Puerto Rico. The second operation was to Guanranamo Bay, Cuba. Our mission was
to demolish Pier " M", which incidendy, was che largest pier at rhe base. Then ro the Naval Station, Bermuda for the third operation. The principle
jobs were re-roofing buildings and resurfacing a large Catchment Area. Back co Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on our next operation. This time the
Battalion achieved a record-breaking fear of putting in a Seaplane Ramp at the Naval Air Station. Once che pouring of concrete was started, around r.be clock shifts were employed to complete rhe project. The photographs also describe the various and sundry other jobs completed on chat operation.
A component of personnel was assigned to Davisville, Rhode Island , where Butler, Quonset and Green Hues were erected and facilities readied for the occupancy of ComCBLanr.
Detachmeors were ordered to Pore lyaurey, French Morroco, and Sr. Thomas, Virgin Islands . The principle jobs were rhe erection of Quonset Hues at the former and the demolishing of wooden piers at rhe latter. A detachment was also sent to Oceana, Virgina, where a banger, Quonsec and Buder Huts were erected.
As the Album goes to press, we are completing our presem assignmenr ac Argeoria, Newfoundland.
Because our book is loose-leaf, it is anticipated chat pictures of subsequenr operations will be added co the Album from time to time.
We of che Album Committee feel chat the Baccalion bas achieved a uemendous record on each operation and char rbe officers and men have excelled in the performance of their duties. A precedent bas been sec, the reputation must be maintained- chis is rhe CAN DO spiric of MCB #1.

1. U.S . Naval Construction Battalion No. 1, in completing the task assigned in reference (a), has established an outstanding record of achievment at this Base. The primary task, involving complete removal of the 1150 foot concrete deck and wood pile supporting structure of Pier "M", was accomplished in appreciably less time than the most optimistic estimates, in spite of unanticipated technical obstacles and procurement delays. The secondary and other tasks were similarly performed in such manner as to elicit praise from all observers. Throughout, the battalion comported itself in exemplary manner to the credit of the Naval service. 2. The Battalion under Lieutenant Commander A.C. Neumann has shown commendable resourcefulness, ingenuity, and industry, all especially desirable attributes in an outlying, tropical station and in a nonroutine type of operation . 3. The Base Commander takes great pleasure in extending to Mobile Construction Battalion No. 1 congratulations and "Well Done".

1. In performing the tasks assigned in reference (a), as well as other tasks of lesser nature, U.S. Naval Construction Battalion No. 1 has earned the highest regard from the Commander and component commands of this Base. The primary task of constructing the reinforced concrete seaplane ramp at Fisherman's Point was accomplished in record time as a direct result of energetic application to the task assigned. Other projects were similarly expeditiously accomplished in spite of unanticipated handicaps such as loss of trained personnel and equipment in the initial weeks of assignment at this Base.
2. Under the command of Lieut. Commander A.C. Neumann, CEC, USN. Mobile Construction Battalion No. 1 displayed the resourcefulness, ingenuity, and industry for which the Seabees have gained renown throughout the world.
3. The Base Commander is pleased to extend to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion No. 1 congratulations and "Well Done" for its excellent performance while assigned at this Base.

"Able" in Morocco D. G. McCook, YNT3
Climbing ro ship board via Jacob's ladder from a small rug, wallowing in heavy ground swell, is a ticklish job, and rhe ruddy, smiling, little Frenchman who came aboard the LST 533 was using one hand ro keep his beret from blowing into the Atlantic. The beret and irs wearer were a new sight co nearly all of us- and most welcome ir was, after 19 days of poking at 10 knots from Guantanamo Bay ro the mouth of Wadi Sebu. With Monsieur le Pilot and the Captain overcoming language barriers on the "Con" and setting course dangerously near the jetties ro avoid sandbars, the "533" chugged slowly up the Sebu on rhe lasr 12 miles of its voyage - inland to Porr Lyaurey, French Morocco.
Pase the ancient Kasbah at the river's mouth, we followed a twisted channel between the sloping bills where Arab herdsmen lived in grass-thatched huts. A veiled fatima, washing her small child, gazed at us with curiosity as our "man-of war" sailed upstream- we stared back. Around the long bend at the U.S. Naval Air Facility, under the white, warning glare of the Moroccan prison, we slipped into berth at the Quai de Fez, ~erween a French freighter and a small Swedish ship unloading cargoes of grain and pulp wood. Red fezzes with tassels and a few gaily colored skull caps were in sharp contrast with the drab, patched clothing worn by rhe hundred or so Arabs who had gathered on rhe Quay to warch our arrival. We were the largest and the first U. S. ship co dock in many months. · 'Ceegarette, Joe?" was a greeting familiar to many Seabee veterans of World War II, and a Camel or Lucky tossed onto the wharf caused a score of little Mohammeds co dive into a scuffle.
If this were the more serious chronicle of operation, we should now report off-loading the LST's rank deck of heavy construction equipment; setting up Headquarters in a pre-fab
on the main deck; long, screnuous hours of work on sreel hurs and access roads in the project area; dusr-srorms of swirling red sand; and finally rhe rewarding WELL DONE from our officer-in-charge, LCDR. John L. CROSS, who received a highly commendatory letter for rhe efficiency and readiness of Detachment "ABLE", MCB# l.
Instead, let a slow montage pass rhe mind 's eye as we recall rhe lighter scenes of detachment life: riding in horsedra wn Coushays along the Avenue de la Gare; pausing ro admire rhe Moroccan flag with its green star sec on a brilliant red field unfurled beside tbe French Tricolor; hearing the beggar's call in rbe crowded, smelling, walled Medina; ordering a Turborg in the Green Front Bar; or a cognac in Jack's; warching rhe can-can dancers at Mama's ; visiting the Place of a Thousand Miracles in Meknes ; photographing rhe Sultan's Black Guard, clad in their scarier uniforms at rhe palace in Rabat; climbing up the steep hills of Tangier ro see an Arab snake-charmer by the ramparrs of the Kasbah; window shopping along the modern thoroughfares and mixing with the swarming mass of humanity in the Place de France at Casablanca. One hundred and thirty Seabees-of course, our adventures varied, but in one way or another we had a view of this Morrocan life so different from our own.
For those less inclined ro exploring the foreign land, the "EM Club" was only a five minute walk from rhe ship. There, a Spanish Band gave out with hot music, and scrip (or francs) was good for Stateside beer and a game or so of bingo. Rigbc next door was one of Port Lyautey's two night dubs- Jack's- which booked some of North Africa's leading dancers and musicians. (Prices being appropriate! y high!) A few steps around the corner was the popular Resrauranc L'Escale (freely cranslared ·'home away from home"), where
head-wairress, Helene, served soup and sreaks-and ro rhe more advenrurous gourmers, snails and kous -kous.
"Le Milk Bar" was another favorire earing place, run by a Sourh Louisiana Cajun who has inrroduced hamburgs and milk shakes to Moroccans. (His shakes, unfortunately, had an odd resemblance to the twang of goat milk.)
The American movies, we learned, were popular wirh che French in Morocco. Bur, alas, our favorite actors and most beautiful actresses- Humphrey Bogarr, Danny Kaye and Gene Tierney-all seemed to speak in French, and even the titles had been dubbed in ("Cheaper by che Dozen" had become in French "13 co the Dozen"). Consequendy we surrendered ourselves to some half a dozen showings of "Barrleground" on board.
Once or twice during our two monrhs in Port Lyaurey, the local citizenry opened their municipal building, Hotel de Ville, for gala evenings of encerrainmenc. The rown's elite turned our, along with American and French v.i.p.'s. For rhese pleasant soirees, French name bands and excellenr performers were imported from Europe-and for che mosc part the Seabee looked on discreetly, finding a partner for a dance or so, and occasionally avoiding our Shore Patrol when curfew time had slipped by unnoticed amidst the gay celebration.
Sight-seeing was good sport. Aboard a modern electric rrain we were only 35 mjoutes from che fascinating cities of Rabat-Sale which once shelcered pirates who preyed upon Mediterranean and Atlantic shipping lanes. Today Rabat is the permanenr home of the Sultan of Morocco and also of che French Resident General. We visited rbe colorful gardens and expansive parade ground outside the palace; the formidable, thick-walled Kasbah des Oudias (a fortress which, of old , protected che shallow harbor); the high , Hassan Tower; aod the srall-lined screers of rhe Medina, where you could buy
{SO}
anything from diamonds ro second-hand roorhbrushes. One of cbe besr excursions was a day in Tangier, reached
after a 45 minute hop in an R4D. Tangier, under international adminisrrarion, has cosmopolitan appeal. Standing in front of a branch office of the Radio Corporation of Ameri.ca, we looked beyond che British pose office across the main street, out past the flags of half a score of nations, over che strait of blue water co the southern coast of Spain. Below us la)' rhe man-made harbor and the narrow, crooked streets of the older section of cown. Upon enrering chis lower rown, whole disrriccs were noticeably Arab, Jewish, Spanish or French. Thar day was packed with hurried bargaining and rummaging for souvenirs in dingy native shops, as well as miles of walking from landmark to historic spot. And chat night some tired feet were hanging over bucket sears as we skimmed a hundred feet over che pounding surf on the flight back co Port Lyautey.
Noc forgocren are che French expressions that became esseoria1 in rbe lively trading wicb the ever-preseor Arab vendor of leather wallets , hassocks, rugs and like souvenirs. " Beaucoup! .. . coo much, Mo." Or "Allez!" if the prices scayed too high; or the pidgeoo, "Same, same" when you wanred "another just like chis one."
Though ir may disillusion che wives or girl friends who hear this, ic's coo good co forger rhar Jean Pacou's fabulous , $64 an ounce "] oy" perfume costs only a bit more than $12 in French Morocco. (Thar's courisc come-hither that an American Chamber of Commerce would find hard co beac.)
However, even the most alluring French perfumes lose some of their charm when we received orders co sail for Stateside, U.S.A. Thoughts of home came co be foremost in the minds of all. And soon, the Srar of Morocco, was becoming fainter in rhe distance, high over the seem of the homeward bound "533''.

Subj: Commendation
l. As MCB Hl approaches the end of its present tour at the Naval Station, Argentia, this Command desires to acknowledge the outstanding accomplishments that your unit has made towards the improvement of station facilities and to commend you and your men on your performance of duty. It is recognized that shortages of materials have increased your problems very considerably, but you have exhibited the "Can Do" spirit, for which Seabees are famous, in minimizing this difficulty and improvising means by which work could continue. On many projects you have worked long hours, unusual shifts, and completely ignored trying weather conditions in order to complete your assigned task prior to your deadline date of departure.
2. It is also a pleasure to record that your military appearance and conduct while at Argentia have been outstanding and especially worthy of commendation, as this aspect of Seabee life is frequently made secondary to performance of work. My Command and I are most pleased to recognize MCB l l's efforts and conduct with the Navy's traditional "Vlell Done".
