About 7 years ago Sneakytiki posted that in the mid 90's , when he was stationed in Bremerton WA, it was in the base library. It was first in the enlisted mens center but though it was approved in 1941, it's subject matter, shore leave hijinks, was no longer palatable there when it was revealed in 1942. The artist was Ernest Norling and I found it moved about 4 blocks to the Kitsap Museum. It's about 17'x5'. and some detail.. a little hard to get good shots that high up on a conference room wall. The original mural was twice as long, with the second half similar subject matter set in the arctic or Alaska. If anyone is interested I could I could post them also. aloha tikicoma
