TRAINING
Ben Moreell Battalion
and Training Ship Nicholas H. Anderson are
located at the Naval Construction
Battalion Center (CBC) Port Hueneme. Our spaces are the entire second floor of the old Naval Construction Training Center
(NCTC)
headquarters building, and include offices and classroom for training
activities. CBC Port Hueneme is the west coast homeport of the
Navy’s Seabees. Port Hueneme supports the training and mobilization requirements
for more than 2,600 active duty personnel. The CBC also operates a 1,600-acre
naval base. The unit receives
classroom and hands-on-training from active duty members of the U.S. Navy, the
Seabees, and US Marines, making it educational and adventurous. When not
training with members of active duty service or reserve units, the unit
participates in other activities and events, such as their annual flagship
competition and community service, combining fun and hard work to bring out the
best in each and every cadet.

Anderson's sponsor is the
Channel Islands Chapter of the Navy League of the United
States. We also try raising money on our own through raffle
tickets, car washes, candy sales, and other activities to purchase supplies,
uniform, equipment, and other necessary items and also to defray some of
the cost of training for cadets.
