Dear all here is today's update on the carrier for the diorama battle of Coral Sea....preparing boxes and barrels for the hangar
Hi Greg,
Food for thought, There was not a whole lot of "unsecured" stowage on the Hangar decks, as anything that wasn't tied down turned into a missile (unguided) when in "heavy" seas. I made two cruises aboard the Intrepid and even our tool boxes and lockers were secured to bulkheads when not actually in use. All aircraft had a "standard" six point tie down procedure to keep them in place. Hope this is taken as useful information and not criticism. I really like this project and hope to see it finished one day. :thumb2:

Thanks Rick thanks for your infos..remember that l'm representing the moment after the bombing when they were putting the fire out and recovering and l suppose they were reorganizing all the equipment, crates, barrels and so on...what do you think will it be plausable??
Hi Greg, Yes, that would be plausible.....crates, drums and other gear would most likely have been in storage compartments with water tight doors. We called them "voids" onboard ship, as they were unheated, unventilated spaces for that purpose. in the event of an attack it is very possible that if the space was compromised, fire could erupt from flammable materials, in which case the damage control teams would be tasked with fighting and putting out the fire and salvaging the undamaged supplies, the rest would go overboard. Hope this is helpful. :thumb2:
