Building 269 was Sub-Assembly Shop No. 2. I believe that 'sub' here is used in the sense of 'secondary' or 'subordinate,' as in sub-contracter, and does not refer to submarines, as the Brooklyn Navy Yard did hardly any work involving submarines. Here is a view from 1941, shortly after its construction. The large door in the center is the entrance in my drawing.
