USNTC Bainbridge -- An unknown bldg on the base. Taken by Carol Weir while attending Radioman's School in November 1973.

USNTC Bainbridge -- The unknown bldg. on the base is actually the Anti-Aircraft Gunnery Training Building 707 which served both the 1st and 2nd regiments.

Building 707 was situated next to the Ship's Service Headquarters across Bainbridge Ave from 4th Regiment Drill. 1943 Photograph is poor quality, but the black outline behind building 707 across Bainbridge Ave. is the 4th regiment drill hall bldg. 401.

There was another anti-aircraft building serving both the 3rd and 4th regiments located behind the 3rd Regiment Drill Hall and just below the water treatment plant and reservoir (lake). ▼
