Description
English: WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Aug. 1, 2008) A U.S. Marine patrols Navy Mine Depot (NMD) Yorktown and its perimeter, circa 1920. NMD Yorktown became Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Yorktown in 1958, when the Navy expanded the mission of the base. Marines patrolled the base on horseback from 1918 to 1960, when the horses were replaced by motor vehicles. That change made NWS Yorktown the last naval activity to use horse-mounted Marines. NWS will celebrate 90 years of providing ordnance and technical support to the U. S. Navy Aug. 7. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)
