US Naval Training Center Bainbridge MD 1946 CO 470 African American Photo
Item History & Price
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
It's a very rare original photo of a group of African American graduates of the US Naval Training Center Bainbridge, Maryland - caption reads "CO. X 470 / U.S. Naval Training Center / Bainbridge, Maryland / Feb. 2, 1946". It MAY say "12" not "2" but I think it is a trick of light. Very rare item; these may be recruits in the steward's school that graduated after the new rules went into effect allowing transfer between that and the regular service - maybe the first ...ones? The rules went into effect around that time according to some history I looked up. Frame measures approx. 13" tall and 20" across.
