NavSource Destroyer Sumner Class Interior Photographs (original) (raw)

Sea Cabin--While at sea the captain's responsibilities left him little time for rest. Each ship had a "captain's sea cabin", usually located directly aft (behind) of the bridge. During any emergency or serious situation he was readily available for action. His normal reside was the "captain's stateroom", usually on the main deck.

Captain's Stateroom

Captain's Stateroom on the main deck, port side, forward of the wardroom. Only two men on the ship had private rooms, the Captain and the Executive Officer. All amenities included, toilet, sink, shower, safe, ample storage space, desk, etc. Clock has not yet been installed.

Officer's Country

Those areas aboard a naval vessel designated to be used solely by commissioned officers for sleeping, eating, meeting or recreational purposes. From the ship's Organization Manual for USS LAUB (DD-613) Ship's order #2, section 26 dated 24 October 1942

Forward Officers Berthing

Stateroom 101 is forward on the main deck, directly across from the captain's stateroom and forward of the wardroom. A two officer stateroom and one of the few with a porthole.
The object with the canvas material in the right photo is called a wardrobe, where one hangs coats, trousers, etc. After the war these were replaced with 6 foot high metal, double door wardrobes. Forward Officer's Head

Three views of stateroom 105. Located on the main deck aft. A three officer room.
The above 4 rows of photos are of all the staterooms aft on the main deck. They are 102 (double), 103 Executive Officer, 104 (triple) and 105 (triple).

CPO Quarters

Chiefs, CPO's or chief petty officers. A very important part of the crew. Chief's were/are the senior enlisted aboard a destroyer, many say they are the ones that really run the ship. Aboard a 692 class destroyer, as built, the chief's were split forward and aft, as the plans show. After CPO quarters was simple, a bunk room with six bunks and a small head (bathroom). Forward was the chief's pantry, lounge and mess, along with berthing for 12. In later 692's and the new 710 class, all CPO's slept forward. The early 692's used a part of CPO berthing forward to house the 5" practice loading machine, a tool used to train sailors how to quickly and safely feed ammo and fire the 5" guns, necessitating splitting the chief's berthing.

Don't assume the worst. This stand was used to treat any man with any communicable disease, including poison ivy. There have been many stories circulating that one set of trough seats were painted red, to isolate an infected man from the crew, we have been unable to positively confirm that. There's a photo above of one on the Historic Naval ship USS Slater in Albany, NY as an example of what red seats would have looked like. The water heater shown was a 60 gallon tank heated by steam. This head serviced bunks 118 through 324. This 692/710 Material List for the Ship's plumbing shows no indication of any special red seats for the water closet seats. It indicates 16 seats or 32 pieces with 3 sets of spares.

Engineering Department

The sailors who worked and stood their watches in the engineering spaces were lovingly called "Snipes". What is a Snipe? "Snipe" is a nickname for someone who works in the Engineering department on a ship, mainly Water Tenders/Boilermen, Machinist Mates and Electrician Mates. If anyone knows the origin of the word Snipe in relation to Navy Engineers, please e-mail us at edz765@frontier.com.

The 4 wheels on the board controlled steam into the turbines to determine the ship's speed, or in reality, the speed the propellers turned. 139 rpm on both props resulted in 15 knots. The board has many alarms and gages so the people on watch would know what was going on at all times in their room. The major difference between the fwd and aft throttle boards was that the fwd one has 2 engine order telegraphs and 2 rpm gages. B-2 was considered (main control) or the one engineering compartment that controlled all 4. Also, the Chief of the Watch stood his watch here, he was in charge of the entire engineering plant. | | | | | | | Turbine driven SSTG (ship's service turbine generator) looking at the turbine end.

wheel in the center was used for emergency steering when the bridge lost control. The horizontal bar going across in the center of the photo was the last result for steering. Hand cranks were put on the ends and sailors turned the rudders manually, very difficult and slow. | After Steering located between frames 196 + 204, on the first platform (1st deck below the main deck) and amidships (dead center in the ship). This was the elctro-hydraulic machinery that turned the rudders. All 692/710 DD's had twin rudders. | | | | | | | | Looking at the starboard bulkhead of after steering. From left, 2 440 volt receptecles for submersible pumps, round object at top is a siren, many electrical boxes, selector switches and a phone. The door leads to the aft berthing compartment.

They could be triggered from a remote location by manual means. The 3 large black pipes on the right side coming up from the deck are fuel oil tank overflows, the 3 small black pipes in the overhead (ceiling) are fuel oil tank vent lines. The large box on the right center is the diesel engine starting control. A flip of the switch starts the engine. (center photo) From left, the starting controller, six 12 volt batteries (36 starting volts) to start the engine, above the batteries are a 3 phase 450 volt to 120 volt transformer bank. The switchboard controls the generators output but also monitors and controls the engine. The 2 sets of triangular lamps at the top of the right board are ground detector lamps. The tank top on the deck leads to fuel oil tank C-4F which holds 3,019 gallons of oil. (right photo) Blower end of engine. Oval tank cover on bulkhead leads to fuel oil tank C-1F, holding 14,607 gallons of black oil. View between rear of switchboard and bulkhead 72. Large dark box is the 200 gallon day tank for fuel. The 2 cylinders on the left are lube oil filters. The round handwheel at the very bottom is for the scuttle to go down into the port shaft alley. Good overall view of the control side of the after emergency diesel generator. The large black line at top left is the engine air intake going right to the blower. The large half white pipe at top center is the exhaust line going up and outside. Notice the heavy duty shock mounts the engine rests on. Forward Fan Room On the main deck and at opposite ends of that deckhouse are two areas that over the years have had a few different names. Basically, they are passageways, but each houses two large vent fans and have been called "fan rooms, forward and aft". As built the aft room was officially titled "passage + fan space". Forward was simply called "passage". During the 1960's, aft was titled "after battle dressing station and barber shop" on some destroyers. Many had the ship's store + post office relocated to the aft fan room. For reference purposes we shall call them "fan rooms", forward and aft. The intention of this series is to show the ship as built. After Fan Room I. C. & Plotting Room The IC (Interior Communications) room is the central location for all interior shipboard communication, gun fire control, and navigational related instrumentation. This space contains the master ship gyrocompass, the 1MC Public Address amplifiers and controls, the 21MC Captains Command circuit controls, all main patch panel switchboards and circuits for the sound powered phone system, and the Mark 1A fire control computer with stable element. Major functions include remote control of the guns, providing ships course and wind speed, and central control of all interior shipboard communications.Caption courtesy of Rich Angelini. General Workshop & Electrical Shop The General Workshop & Electrical Shop, a working compartment shared by "A Gang" and ship's Electrician's mates. "A" or auxiliary gang were the men who repaired steam heat, refrigeration, diesels, whaleboat engine, ran the lathe, etc. From left, oaktop workbench, test switchboard where electricians could test almost anything from fuses to motors. The machine shop aft bulkhead which is water tight bulkhead 148, on the other side is B-4 or the aft engine room. Anvil in the center, drill press to the right and barely visible in the extreme right, the lathe. Just to the right of the anvil is a round wheel, that's the hatch to the starboard shaft alley. From left--a lathe, full workbench with storage, 2 heavy duty vises and a bench grinder with 1 stone wheel and one wire brush wheel. The anvil in the foreground was used for for forming any heavy metal projects. The bulkhead with "danger fuel oil" stenciled is the bulkhead for oil tanks C-6F (aft) and C-1F (fwd). The view is looking aft. The main tool in the shop was the Reed + Prentiss lathe. Large objects could be machined by leaving the door open. The door leads to berthing compartment C-203L. The small dark box on the lower bulkhead held one sound powered phone headset, used when refueling. Stuffing Box Compartment (Shaft Alley) Spare spring bearings, most of these bearings, wrapped in protective cosmoline (grease) are for the spring bearings. These are stored on shelves in the shaft alley. Only the starboard (right) shaft required spring bearings for support since it ran all the way from the forward, B-2, engine room. 5 were in place per ship, 3 in the aft fireroom, B-3, and 2 in B-4. The bore of the bearings was 15 7/8". Steering Gear "RAM" Room At the opposite end of the ship from the bosun locker is the Steering Gear Room. Some crews refered to this room as the "ram room". It was situated just aft of after steering. Aft steering had the motors and pumps which sent hydraulic fluid to the ram room into each end of the large "ram" which was housed inside a cylinder. This controlled pressurized oil moved the ram to achieve the rudder angle desired by the bridge or pilot house. There were 2 rudders, one at each end of the ram connected by movable arms seen in the photos. This room was also used for storage of spare parts. One of the photos has looped handrails for a small bridge to cross over the ram to the rear of the room, the object to the right is a fan used when the ship was directed to make a smokescreen to hide itself or something. In the room was a fog generator which when used with the fan created large amounts of smoke. Tank Tops Deck & Boatswain's Spaces Bosun Locker The most forward part of a 692/710 class destroyer is always referred to as the "Bosun Locker." It encompasses an area from the forward perpendicular to frame 18, about 31 feet and goes down from and including the 1st, 2nd and 3rd platforms (decks). Many rooms are included in this area, only two of which are titled "Boatswain's Stores", one each on the 1st + 2nd platforms. Other rooms include, windlass room, wardroom stores, S.D. stores, (supply department), landing force equipment, chain locker, paint stores, etc. Later revisions would include a flag locker and canvas stores with sewing machine. Grapnel hooks, line(rope), shackles, spare parts boxes were just a few of the items stored in this area. The main item was the anchor windlass/capstan located on the 1st platform. This machine performed a double task, to raise and lower the anchors (windlass), to use the capstan as a device for line for various reasons such as assisting the ship when pulling into a pier. One motor with two seperate functions. The deepest part of a destroyer is also the most forward. The peak tanks are the most of all, A-1W and A-501W, both in the hold or lowest deck on the ship below the 3rd platform. A-1W extends from the knife edge bow to frame 14. A-503A starts at frame 18 to 33 at the hold level. In between is A-502A, of which we have no photos. At the very bottom is the keel or backbone of a ship. General Spaces Ship's Office The Ship's Office was the home of the Yeomen and Personnelmen who maintained the individual Service Records, kept track of Leave, produced the Smooth Ship's Deck Log, maintained the Ship's Diary, forwarded official reports to Commands ashore, served as the Captain and XO's secretarial staff, produced the Plan of the Day, produced Reenlistment Contracts and transfer/discharge documents, maintained and interpreted the BuPers manuals and received/distributed the Ship's official mail. Medical Department Sick Bay Folding Surgical Table. Safe used for controlled medications. Round object to the left is an AUTOCLAVE or sterilizer for surgical equipment. Medical Stores, this is the door to Sick Bay. Small, but set up just as any city pharmacy. Racks for bottles, drawers for meds and instruments.

From left to right is the chair for the air search radar operator, two speakers with a chalk board, a MK10 range and bearing transmitter, the SG surface search radar consol, the 24 hour clock, and the horizontal plotting table projecting into the picture at the right. CIC looking to port and forward, from left to right showing the 24 hour clock, the door to the passageway, the pit log speed indicator, a speaker amplifier with the radio telephone handset below, and the Dead Reckoning Tracer table with voice tubes above and chart stowage below. From the USS SLATER website www.ussslater.org; Main radio central, commonly called the radio room or radio shack, contained radio transmitters and receivers, which allowed the ship long and short range electronic communication capabilities. This space was normally manned by three men, two operators and a watch supervisor. Generally, the ship operated under radio silence and would only transmit necessary enemy contact reports. The Fox Schedule was a constant stream of orders and messages broadcast by Naval Headquarters to all ships in the fleet. �Guarding the Fox� was the unending process of listening to these messages so no pertinent messages would be missed. As ships generally operated under radio silence, no acknowledgement was expected when a ship received a message addressed to her. A missed message could result in a ship�s failure to participate in a major action.During World War II, operators sat at their typewriters or �mills� and typed out the messages that came over their headsets in encrypted Morse code. Messages addressed to the ship were turned over to the communications officer, who deciphered them in the code room on the "crypto" machine and then passed them on to the captain. Radio Central photographed from the inboard passageway looking outboard to starboard and slightly aft. From left to right we have the file cabinet, the TBS transmitter rack, the door to the radio transmitter room, the radio operators desk with the LR Frequency meter on the left, and the TDQ Transmitter with and RCK receiver mounted on the shelf above.

To the right is the power panel containing the switches and fuses for powering all the electrical circuits in the radio spaces. The Gunfire Control Radar Room was located across the passageway from radio central on the port side. The space contained the electronics for the MK-12 gunfire control radar system that did not fit in the MK-37 director. On the left we have the cabinet for the MK-12 electronics and a work table, with a motor generator set on the deck next to the work table.

Emergency Radio Room Pilot House The Pilot House (or sometimes called Bridge) of a ship is the main space where overall command of the ship takes place. The main features of the Pilot House are for primary control of the Ship's Helm for steering, speed and shaft revolution orders by the Engine Order Telegraph for the engine rooms, Magnetic compass for Navigation, a rudder angle indicator to advise of the current direction of the rudders, voice tubes and sound powered phone circuits to relay observations and problems from lookouts and other Navigational stations, and a Radar repeater for navigational purposes. Some other features of the Pilot House include the Telltale panel to control all exterior navigational lighting, a chart table for plotting the ship's course, and various other alarms and indicators to allow the commanding officer or Watch Officer that has the "Conn" to make educated decisions to control the vessel. Caption courtesy Rich Angelini.SONAR 20mm cartridges were filled and stored here. The 692 class had three clipping rooms. 40mm Ordnance Compartments The 3 left photos are compartment B-0103M and the right photo is B-0102M. These are ready service rooms located on the 01 level on either side of the forward stack. All photos are compartment C-102M located on the main deck aft at frame 150. Ths is a ready service room. These photos are in room B-113C, a 40 MM radar room not yet complete. All photos are in a 40 MM power room located on the main deck, starboard side around frame 127. These rooms provided the power to manipulate the gun mounts. Left is an unidentified ready service room, center is C-304M, a magazine aft on the 2nd platform shared with 20MM ammunition. Right is a typical photo of how 40MM ammo was passed from a low magazine up to the guns, this photo is not part of the 692 series. MK 37 Director All MK 37 captions courtesy of Tim Rizzuto. Forward looking to port we have The Director Control Officer's station. This what the Gunnery Officer's station at General Quarters. Normally the hatch above would be open and the control officer would have his head out and use at external "Slew Sight" to put the director on target. From left to right we see the "Spot Transmitter" with the "17MC Battle Announcing Microphone" below. The we have the "Bearing Indicator," The MK12 radar repeater, the "21MC" communications box, and the pointers radar repeater below. The pointer's telescope and handwheel for opening the pointers hatch appear on the right. Forward looking to starboard we have the pointer and trainers stations. The pointer sat on the left. At the very top on the right we have one of the hand wheels used to open the overhead hatches. At the top left are the indicators for the MK22 radar. Below that we have the two black MK60 telescopes with the protective covers over the eye pieces. Below the nearest, pointer's telescope, we have the elevation indicators for the MK 12 radar antenna. Next to each indicator are the brass handwheels for opening the armored telescope covers. Below those handwheels are the solid brass handwheels the pointer and trainer would use to move the director. Note the firing key on the pointers handwheel. On the shelf outboard is the trainer's radar repeater, and the radar selector switch to its right. From center aft looking to starboard we have the starboard side of the Rangefinder MK42, going through the opening in the director. The opening is covered with flexible canvas, with the optics outside. The director had automatic crossleveling, to compensate for the roll and pitch of the ship, while staying stable. This sailors had to keep clear of the rangefinder arms as it was possible to get pinched and injured between the rangefinder and the overhead in heavy seas. Behind the rangefinder looking to starboard we have the Radar Operator's Station. At the top center we have the Operator's Control Unit with the large MK 12 Transmitter Receiver Assembly below. On the aft bulkhead of the director we have a Bearing Indicator MK10. Recessed into the bulkhead to the left of the Bearing indicator is the radar operator's indicator unit. On the right side of the picture is the MK22 radar equipment. The director house had to be modified and extended to make room for this unit. Looking to port we have the port arm of the optical MK42 Rangefinder extending out of the director through the canvas "bloomer." On the right of the rangefinder are the rangefinder operators controls with the actual eye piece covered by the removable protective metal cover. In the center of the picture note the vertical arm extending from the rangefinder up through the roof of the director shield. This was connected to the MK 12 radar antenna above, providing crossleveling for the radar antenna to keep to compensate for the roll and pitch of the ship. Looking aft and to port we have the "Illumination Control Officer's Station." On WWII era destroyers the 36" searchlights were tied into the gunfire control system so they could be aimed by the director and illuminate targets. On the left we have the face of the MK22 radar equipment. The large unit next to the radar with the hand cranks on top is the "Searchlight Control Transmitter." On the port bulkhead is the "Star Shell Spot Transmitter." The brass handwheel in the overhead is opens the director control officers armored hatch. This station was normally manned by one of the junior gunnery officers. Torpedo & Ordnance Workshop The left and right images are from DD-755. The left and right images are from DD-754 and the center image from DD-755. Shop was used to repair all the delicate and complicated small sections of ships torpedoes including gyro's and motors. The cart was used to move the torpedoes on deck after hoisting aboard. 5" Ammunition Handling and Stowage What oil was to the boilers, ammunition was to the guns. The original six gun assemblies on a 692 class destroyer, in three twin gun mounts, needed ammunition and lots of it. As can be seen by the maps above, there were 10 locations for storage of 5" ammo and powder. More space was consumed by ammo than food for a crew of 300. The majority of ammo was moved by muscle power, the crew. A thing called "All Hands Working Parties" were mustered to rearm the ship. Shells were stored in seperate areas from the powder. In case a quick battle action developed, small amounts of ammo was stored in "ready service" areas, to be used the minute a gun was manned. After that it came up from the magazines. Stowage of ammo and powder was taken very serious to avoid magazine explosions. Powder was tested and temperatures monitored daily. Compartment A-405M, labeled "5" ammo handling room and projectile stowage". It is between frames 26 + 32 on the 3rd platform (deck). Remote operating station for magazine sprinkling system under mount 53. The open hatch looks straight down at the motor that turns the ammunition "merry-go round" for Mount 53. Compartment A-303-BL, 5" loading machine and Crew's quarters. Mount 52 upper handling room merry-go-round motor and gearbox. Supply Department Bread Locker The bread locker plan on the main deck across from the galley. This was moved shortly after completion of the 692 class. 500 loaf capacity. As built the Sumner Class destroyers had their bread locker on the 1st platform (one deck below main), just aft of the Messdeck (dining hall), in the same compartment as the Scullery (dishwashing room). It was small, but according to blueprints could hold about 500 loaves of bread. On a destroyer, in the Galley, was a Cook titled the "Night Baker". His job was to make all fresh products, bread, rolls, pies, cakes, cookies, etc. at night. This had to be stored somewhere and locked up for obvious reasons. On the early Sumner's it was quickly noticed that fresh baked products did not hold up well sharing a hot, humid room with the steam operated dishwashing machine. It was then moved up one deck and right across from the Galley. Galley I would like to dedicate this section primarily to all the Commissarymen (CS) or cooks who never let me go hungry while aboard the USS Keppler for almost 3 1/2 years and generally to all the cooks aboard destroyers since 1902. They performed miracles under all imaginable conditions, rough seas, general quarters, while ill, extended deployments, short handed and a galley smaller then most household kitchens while still managing to feed hundreds of sailors a day. The left photo has us standing in the inboard passage near frame 82. The doorknob on the right is the galley door. The door all the way forward is the port side entrance to the wardroom. The 3 bunks on the left were soon removed and the bread locker installed there, moving up from the scullery. The center photo shows the inside of the galley door with steam kettles on the right and ovens and grills on the left. The right photo shows the original 692 class 2 section roasting oven (rear) and in front, two range, oven, griddle combinations. Galley ventilation was extensive, an all exhaust system, no supply fans. Above the griddles can be seen a portion of the exhaust system with two grease catching filters in place. The left photo shows both galley sinks and counter workspace, all stainless steel. The left sink is forward and the rear sink is on the starboard side. Notice the large cooking pots. Both sinks came with covers. The center picture continues past or aft of the starb'd sink. Atop the 5 drawers is a wood chopping block with the dough mixer right after that. Above the mixer is a screened opening, a natural vent intake for outside air to enter when the exhaust fan was running. In the rear is a vegetable peeler and the provision room. NOTE: on the bulkhead behind the mixer and directly under the fan is the starb'd sink cover. The last photo looks at the three 40 gallon cooking kettles. These were double walled with stem injected between the walls to cook the food within. Above the kettles is another large exhaust hood to remove kettle heat. The kettles drained into the deck moat and over the side. Kettle steam came from a reducing valve in B-1. That reduced pressure auxiliary steam was 45 PSI. The left photo is a close up of the exhaust vent over the griddles with a sign above instructing the messcook how to clean out the grease. This original sign still exists aboard the museum ship, USS JOSEPH P. KENNEDY JR. DD-850, in Fall River, MA, 66 years later. Center--In the vegetable prep space, too small to be called a room, is the vegetable or potato peeler. The locked door leads to the provision issue room, view is looking aft and to starb'd. Right--The provision issue room with the door open, The narrow white bulkhead to the right houses the forward uptake space for boilers 1+2. The barely visible bolt heads hold an access plate to the uptakes. Left-- A straight look at the vegetable peeler in the vegetable prep space. Notice the ships name on the fire extinguisher. The black box up top is the peeler's on/off switch. Fresh water ran through the machine flushing the peelings over the side. Center--Five plans of the galley. The right photo is inside the issue room. On top of the bench to the left is the coffee grinder. Coffee was issued to the ships as beans.

We ate our meals there, we took turns messcooking, we watched movies there and we socialized there. The average 692/710 class destroyer could seat about 50-55 crew at one time. So a crew of 280-300 enlisted men depended on a quick rotation for all to eat in a timely manner. The men going on watch ate first so they could relieve the watch and allow them to eat. There was no pecking order in the chow line, you got there, you went to the back, except 1st class petty officers who usually went to the head of the line. There are two significant items in these photos, the scuttlebutt (water fountain) and the ice cream hardening cabinet. You can imagine how popular ice cream was back then. The hatch shown open and closed leads down to an enlisted berthing compartment, A-305CL. At sea, there usually was a 4th meal, served at 2330 (11:30PM) called MIDRATS. MIDRATS is an acronym for "midnight rations", served only to those who were going on the 0000-0400 watch, or midnight to 4AM. Nothing more than soup, crackers, bread and cookies. Refrigeration Plant Refrigeration equipment, used to keep foods cold or frozen. The photo to the top left displays at the bottom right a freon compressor with controls above it. The compressor is against the aft bulkhead (wall). Most notable in this photo is the EMERGENCY FIRE PUMP, dark round object in center of photo. This is a 100 HP, 440 volt motor driven centrifugal pump which can deliver fire fighting water at the rate of 750 gpm at 150 psi. The gray pipe coming up from the deck is the suction line and the white pipe is the discharge line to the ship's fire main. Scullery SCULLERY--by definition is a room adjoining a kitchen where dishwashing and other rough kitchen chores are done. The galley (kitchen) and scullery are not adjoined on a destroyer in any way, in fact they are a deck apart. The rest is true. Most every sailor took a turn messcooking (not defined in a dictionary) which included a turn in the scullery. Into the scullery came the metal trays, garbage, ceramic cups and bowls, garbage, forks, knives and spoons and garbage. The garbage was hauled up the ladder in 30 gallon corrugated metal cans by 2 messcooks, carried along the main deck all the way aft and dumped over the side through a chute into the sea. The scullery was located just aft of the messdecks and across the passage from the IC room. Below the scullery was the forward emergency diesel room. When a sailor finished eating, he walked his stuff from the messdecks to the scullery, first dumping the garbage from his tray into beforementioned can (no liners). Tray, silver, cup and or soup bowl were deposited for the messcooks to deal with. They were rinsed off to rid them of accumulated garbage, and there was a garbage grinder under the sink for this. The stuff was then loaded into a large dishwashing machine on containers and automatically run through. After much hissing and other noise, the stuff came out the other end clean and very hot. Then recycled back to the serving line to start all over. The dishwashing machine stats;Insinger Machine Co. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...This company started 100 years ago and still makes dishwashing equipment at the same location as it did for the destroyers in World War II. Model 60DA right hand 440 volt motor with a Cutler-Hammer controller (shown in photo). The machine came with galvanized steel baskets as follows;(4) 12 bowl capacity(4) 12 metal tray capacity(4) cutlery(8) 12 cup capacity Ship's Service Store Food Service (Steam Line) Water tight door from the mess decks looking into the steam line(room where crew picked up their meals on trays). Notice the bench for a table secured to the bulkhead. Serving line is to the right, ladder goes up to main deck and inboard passageway. Similar to previous photo. Steam line showing opposite side of serving line. The shiny brass item at the extreme bottom left with 2 square is a sluicing valve, to be explained later. Dark object in center left is a sea strainer. Fire hoses get attached to it and debris is strained out of water before going to hose. The serving line and at the close end is the �beverage� kettle. Can be used for hot or cold beverages. Has a hot/cold water inlet and steam piping to keep liquids hot and a drain. View of the steamline looking forward. Door leads to the mess decks. Notice sluicing valve and beverage kettle. Storerooms Storerooms were located throughout the ship to keep repair parts, consumables (toilet paper), food and Ship's Store items. They were variously controlled by Commissary Men (Jack of the Dust), Ship's Servicemen and Storekeepers. It was the function of these ratings to store the allowed items for future issue and use, maintain records of what and where the items were stored and replenish the items as needed. Supply Office Wardroom Pantry Wardroom pantry--(right photo) double silex coffee maker. Black box above coffee is the "E" call system. Each stateroom (Officer's bunkroom) has a small switch, when pushed, the steward (Officer's attendant) picks up the phone and an order is placed for coffee, etc., to be delivered. The racks to the right are for dishes, Officers ate from dishes, enlisted from metal trays. ( left photo) To the left is the double Silex coffee maker, on the far bulkhead is a cutting board. Doors, Hatches, Passageways, etc. Doors These four photos are a good example of quick acting water tight doors inside and out. They are 8 dog, 26� x 66� doors. The two left pictures show standard non-tight doors used for offices, galley, wardroom, chartroom, Divcom, etc. The 2 right photos are called �expanded metal� doors. The only reason for using them is security. All 4 doors are lockable. Hatches Quick acting scuttle #2-48. This is an 18" escape scuttle allowing crew to escape from the berthing compartment below A-305CL to the crews mess room A-205L. The underside of the scuttle had a handwheel while this level required a "T" handle wrench to open. The ID tag, 2-48, means 2nd platform, frame 48, which means the hatch is about 84' from the bow. This hatch is a good example of a little of everything. A hatch, scuttle, verticle ladder and inclined ladder. This is hatch 2-165-1 going down from crew's berthing, C-203L to C-304A storeroom. Typical thru deck hatch. This one goes from the 1st platform down to the 2nd platform (2nd deck below the main deck) It is water tight and secured with 4 hand operated dogs (latches). Notice the paper covering areas, the ship is in the process of final painting immediately prior to comissioning. This is hatch 2-190 going from crews berthing to the chemical storage room. Door between mess decks and vestibule. Good picture of a quick acting water tight door closed with dogs fully engaged. Notice lock for door. Main Deck Aft--fantail hatch #1-189, standard water tight hatch going from main deck to berthing compartment below. Located at the stern or fantail of the ship, just forward of gun mount #53. That means the 3rd 5" gun mount from the bow. Notice the 18" escape scuttle built into the hatch. When hatch is fully closed for bad weather or combat, all dogs (securing bolts) will be tightened. Left 2 photos are 25� x 25� water tight hatches that go between decks. These 2 are dogged down by 4 eyebolts and nuts. The right 2 are 18� round hatches, 4 dog and quick acting. Four through deck hatches. The 3 left ones are dogged by 4 dogs and the last one has eyebolts and nuts. The left one has a latch at the top to keep it open, the other 3 have legs. Left is an example of a hatch with the ladder rungs attached to it. Center two pictures show a large hatch usually going to a berthing compartment and having an inclined ladder. Two left photos are unique, they are looking up from below in the A section of the ship. The right 2 are another large hatch with a quick acting scuttle as part of the hatch. Passageways Inboard passageway, 6 bunks between frames 100 and 117. Number 3 and 4 uptakes on the left. Hatch to B-3 (aft fire room) visible on deck beyond bunks. Visible is a gasoline driven P-500 pump used for emergency fire fighting or dewatering from flooding. Cans on deck are foam for fire fighting. Foam proportioner is not visible. Large round white object on top is a ships ventilator or vent fan. Inboard passageway, looking forward from the B-4 (aft engineroom) hatch, to the right is after officer's country. Vestibule on the 02 deck where the door to the pilot house is and the door to the portside bridge wing is, notice wood grating at bottom right which is outside. At the end of this project it seems appropriate to ring the Ship's Bell.If you don't have one here is the plan to build one ! | | |
