17-9-14 Garand Picture of the Day - Shipboard Garands

[Mark in Rochester]

This rifle rack held M-1 Garand rifles, padlocks for security. These were the standard weapons of a ship's Marine Detachment. The ship's armory (located further below deck) also contained M-1 Carbines, Browning automatic rifles, Thompson sub-machine guns, M-97 riot shoguns, and Browning air cooled machine guns, all of which were available to the Marines on short notice.
