Editing Quonset hut (section)

== In popular culture ==
After [[World War II]], surplus Quonset huts became popular as housing in [[Hawaii]]. They became known as "''kamaboko'' houses" due to their half-cylindrical shape, similar to a slab of ''[[kamaboko]]''.<ref name=hierarchy>{{cite web|url=https://historichawaii.org/2013/12/28/the-kamaboko-house/|title=The Kamaboko House|publisher=Historic Hawaii Foundation|access-date=2017-07-21}}</ref>

The [[situation comedy]] ''[[Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.]]'', which aired on [[CBS]] from 1964 to 1969, featured Quonset huts as the [[barracks]] housing at [[Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton]], California.
