Constructed 1965, former site of NTC South Mess Hall, the largest mess-hall on the grounds of the former Naval Training Center.

Located between Decatur and Cushing Roads near Bainbridge Court, the galley had accommodations for 1,800 persons and could serve 24,000 meals each day. It had four dining halls, eight serving lines, more than 350 mess cooks, 100 commissarymen and 14 master-at-arms. The galley cost $2.5 million to construct and all new cooking appliances were installed, including pie making machines and donut machines.

It was demolished in 2000, and new homes are located on where it once stood.
