Other Memories March of 1960 saw NMCB ONE training at Camp Lejeune, N.C. In May the Battalion received orders to Europe. The advance party left Davisville in March, and the main body arrived at Naval Station Rota, Spain, on May 29, 1960. The Battalion's main task was the construction of eleven type "B" magazines. The Seabees also built security facilities and expanded camp facilities. A detachment of 10 men were detailed to Port Lyautey to build seven gasoline storage tanks, and 50 men were sent to Sigonella, Sicily, to erect nine buildings for the Naval Air Station. NMCB ONE sailed back to homeport in March 1961, for four months of well-deserved rest.
