Description
(Original Caption) The sign on "Stud's Saloon" states sadly that there is no wine, no women, no nothing. But the boys managed to split a few atoms of some kind of liquid between them to wash the nuclear dust from their tonsils. The stand was setup by seabees engaged in the atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll. At the counter are William Gibson, photographer's mate I/C (left), and John S. Mahaffey, Photog's mate L/C. Behind the bar, joining the customers, is C.H. Hopkins, seaman first class.
