I'm checking on it now but I'm wondering if the Duck pics are from the old CGAS Salem? Trying to figure out if this pic could be Salem also. I see a Duck and a PBY or Hall boat in the hanger.
The USS Bear with the Duck hanging off the back is the Coast Guard's famous old RCS/CGC Bear. From the Navy archives:
