Gedunk Stand

A battleship is like a city at sea. With crew complements upwards of 2000 men on some of the larger ships, they need to be almost totally self-sufficient and provide services such as barbers, dentists, shops, theaters - even soda fountains! On US Navy battleships, the "Gedunk Stand" was a common slang term for the shop where the sailors could buy snacks, sodas, or whatever they needed while at sea (Note: The term also is commonly used to refer to the shipboard ice cream stand - if you insist on the latter definition, when you visit the North Texas Battle Group, we'd be more than happy to buy you an ice cream!).

At the North Texas Battle Group, our Gedunk Stand is where the model warship captain can find whatever he (or she) needs to build or outfit their ship for Big Gun R/C Warship Combat.
