I can't tell if the brown all over the deck is rust or spilled fuel, oil and hyd fluid.

I did a 4 day notice deployment once where they brought the boat out early from its POM period and they had stripped a large part of the deck. They slapped down a bunch of non-skid and slapped paint on it before anything had dried. That stuff was all coming up by the time we chopped into the Gulf. The ship battled that for the entire deployment. Wasn't their fault, but that deck was slippery. We were lucky to be in calm waters with fair weather most of the time. I hate the feeling of kicking the nose wheel into a turn and having the jet continue straight.
