Fighting Seabee Statue

North Kingstown, RI | 36 Miles

The U.S. Naval Construction Battalion, better known as the Seabees, is represented by a fierce bumblebee wearing a sailor’s cap and brandishing a pipe wrench, hammer, and machine gun. The mascot represents the Seabees “Can Do” mission and was designed in 1942by Frank Iafrate, a 22-year-old civilian file clerk at the Quonset Point Naval Air Station in Davisville, RI.

The Fighting Seabee statue, constructed in 1971, originally sat at the entrance gate to the Naval Air Station. The base was decommissioned in 1974, and in 1999 the statue was moved to its current location on the grounds of the nearby Seabees Museum and Memorial Park.
