Biographical / Historical

From https://www.public.navy.mil/netc/centers/chaplain/Default.aspx:

Originally called the Naval Chaplains School (NCS), Naval Chaplaincy School and Center (NCSC), came into existence in February of 1942 when large numbers of civilian clergy, most with no military experience, entered the Navy in World War II. These pastors, priests and rabbis stepped forward to meet the religious needs of the millions of young men and women who were joining the Navy and Marine Corps for the war-time emergency. First located at Naval Station Norfolk, VA the school moved shortly thereafter to the campus of the College of William and Mary, in nearby Williamsburg, VA. The school was decommissioned on 15 November 1945.
