Other Memories After a three-month training period, NMCB ONE embarked on March 13, 1954, for a second trip to Argentia, Newfoundland. The Battalion's primary tasking was the extension of a runway 1,450 feet beyond the base shoreline. During their seven-month stay the Battalion completed the entire runway subgrade, 50 percent of the concrete hangar apron, excavated three taxiways, applied seal coats to the airfield pavement, and installed airfield lighting and a jet fuel distribution system. In addition, Seabees renovated a theater, Marine barracks, fire escapes, and a seawall, and they redecked two piers and built a recreation building. NMCB ONE put back into homeport on October 19, 1954.
