During the 1950’s, huge stacks of metal buoys greeted travelers along Seal Beach Blvd. as they drove past the base. Some were oblong and others were spherical. My mother thought they were bombs and torpedoes, but they were apparently used for anti-submarine nets during WWII.

That’s my memory as well. I thought all of the buoys were mines. The 50s were great in SoCal! Another memory is of all of the war-surlplus search lights that car dealers would use when the new models came in.

WOW! That would be some old stuff. Taking care of anti-submarine nets seems quite the chore.
