    The three bunk beds, held up on chains, do not allow much vertical space. If one of the three men wanted to roll over, all three would have to roll over at the same time.

      Haha! And no head room; I'm claustrophobic, and this arrangement would totally freak me out. ; (

      And not very comfortable as the warships had no air-conditioning whatsoever. Warships utilized the forced draft punkah louvre ventilation system. Enclosed fans on deck would suck air in and distribute air on board the ship, and many doors were louvered to let air circulate. Temperatures down below ship in humid, tropical seas could reach well over 120 degrees ! Not to mention sometimes the sea air would be absolutely still with no breezes of any kind. I only know of this as I had an uncle who served as a radioman on the heavy cruiser USS Louisville during Ww2.

    Almost makes me regret not joining the military.
