On the first cruise around the Horn (1961) I worked in Ready-Room five near the lower escalator landing.

I remember riding it up to the 04 level on my daily trips (in person)to main-com and CAG-11 to pick up messages that were in written form.

Seems KH Class carriers had some unique first LOL. KH had an escelator? We were the only carrier to have a sonar dome. Sleeping in A&R berthing Aft 3rd deck below the port & starboard chow lines we could hear it pinging all night.
