Navy personnel on liberty at Mogmog Island. Enlisted men lounge about a tiny island with plenty of beer.
Junior Officers and Senior Officers had separate "beer gardens" for their use.
Nurses, usually the only non-native women allowed on the island (sometimes female entertainers
 also came to Mogmog), were taken directly from their launches to the officers' drinking areas. (NWDNS-80-G-408188)
