Dear Mr. Corral,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 2 series General Correspondence Filed Under Filing Classifications EA to EZ1, 1940-1945 under Navy filing code EF 23 (Ecuador); and General Correspondence Filed Under Filing Classifications N1 to OV, 1940-1945 using Navy filing designations NB 124 (Base Beta) and NB 125 (Base Gamma) in the Records of the Bureau of Ships (Record Group 19). It may be possible to locate specific operational information using these three filing designations in the Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments (Record Group 181) and Records of Naval Operating Forces (Record Group 313). For access to and/or copies of records filed under those designations, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
