Seems reasonable.....I figure I don’t know all the details until I read all the H & P’s
I have always found this aspect of warships interesting...we kept a lot of ships from WWII running for decades, but eventually they got to the point where they were decrepit.
I spent a few weeks on the USS Lexington back in the Seventies doing training, and did a short deployment on the FDR, and both of those ships were somewhat miserable.
On the Lexington, it was awful. The compartment they had me sleeping in was hotter than Hell, and I was inhaling bunker fuel fumes the entire time. It was awful, I slept fitfully the entire time there, and had the taste of that damn fuel in my mouth the entire time.
Funny. Just getting a whiff of that fuel now brings me right back to that period. I think of all those sailors serving in the Sixties and Seventies on some of those old warships, and I wondered what it was like on them, if they had that same air of..being worn out and uncomfortable.
