The collection contains a small amount of correspondence and other materials that are primarily concerned with efforts to reconstruct the career of submarine USS SKATE (SS-305) from war patrol reports. Miscellaneous items include printed materials relating to the Naval Training Center in Orlando, FL, and its commissioning (July 1, 1968); the specifications for the Japanese submarine OYASHIO; and a privately published history of the submarine USS SEA FOX (SS-402).

The bulk of the collection consists of photographs of submarines, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and an oil tanker. Particularly interesting are photographs of the submarine USS SKATE after the first atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll (July 1946). Other submarines included are the USS CHIVO (SS-341), the USS GRENADIER (SS-525), and the USS PERMIT (SS-178). Photographs of nuclear submarines include the first nuclearpowered vessel in the world, the USS NAUTILUS (SSN-571), as well as the USS HADDO (SSN-604) and the USS SNOOK (SSN-592). The world's first fleet ballistic missile submarine, the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (SSBN-598) is also pictured, along with the USS PATRICK HENRY (SSBN-599), the USS ROBERT E. LEE (SSBN-601), and the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (SSBN-600). Aircraft carriers depicted include the USS ESSEX (CV-9), the USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN (CV-39), the USS VALLEY FORGE (CV-45), and the attack carrier USS FORRESTAL (CVA-59). Photographs of destroyers include USS JONAS INGRAM (DD-938), NOA (DD-841), and radar picket destroyer USS HAWKINS (DDR-873). Finally, the oil tanker USS WACCAMAW (AO-109), captained by Huey in the 1960s, is shown in photographs at sea or fueling aircraft carriers.

The collection's remaining photographs contain images of ballistic missile launches from land and sea, officers conducting ship inspections, meetings with foreign Navy personnel, ceremonies, and portraits.
