I assume you mean these? They are called Tetrapods and were developed in the early 1950s by a French company. Only 5 years or so after WW2. I would assume that the Seabees would have used some kind of pre-fabricated coastal armour similar as this.

either way it's still wrong..and any erosion control was done with riprap and steel ..and junk...my grandfather was a seabee in the pacific ..actulaay bothgrand parents and 2 great uncles...all naval service...but any way..it;s still a non existant item at this time...but the mouse pad was well researched

Well the fact that they are in the game doesnt change my way of playing. I can live with them. I didnt even notice them until I saw your post. I dont hang around the harbour much.

Thanks for noticing but there are more pressing issues that need attending first.
