The LPH-9 uss Guam was the same..$hit out of the crappers and vent ductint to and from the mess hall. They were bright enough to de commission it to coral reef.
And who’s wild idea was it to put the vestibules down six decks from the enlisted mess deck? When I was stuck on mess duty, we busted a few burger Patty boxes on the way up. Patties were raining down through the ladder rungs and hatches. We cooked and served them that day, all crunchy with non-skid chunks cooked into them.
