They also serve as the morgue and I'm not making this up. That's an improvement over what they did on the Maryland after it weathered a Kamikaze attack off Okinawa. The remains were dripping in cargo nets outside the mess hall.
One of the few things my Dad will talk about from that war...

We had an S-3 one night snag the wrong wire coming in. At some point before it went over the side they had iniated jetison. By the time it happened one went straight into the hull.
