'55?: Beeman Center

Beeman Center is the Enlisted Club and was named in memory of Chief Pharmacist's Mate Arthur C. Beeman.

Chief Beman was warded the Bronze Star Medal posthumously. Beeman lost his life instantly when struck by machine gun fire on the bridge of AMBERJACK (SS219).
Beeman had gone topside to aid an officer injured earlier by the same gunfire.

AMBERJACK was on her third war patrol in
the Southwest Pacific during February 1943. 

AMBERJACK was lost in the encounter.
