Re: Calling all USS Yorktown CV-5 fans

Hey guys I�ve run into another question about portholes and doors. I�m still knocking about with the hulls of the CV-5 and CV-6.

Right now I�m working on the Focsle decks. So now I am wondering if there were portholes and or passage way doors on the transverse bulkhead (wall) at the back of the Focsle deck. In the attached partial deck plan form the Yorktown�s Booklet of General Plansfrom 1940 below are the items encircled in red porthole location? And are the two items framed in blue doors and if so would they have been water tight?

I know it�s probably not going to be very visible on the completed modes, but I figure �in for a penny in for a pound� right?

Thanks.
Mark B.

the blue doors are watertight as you can see the handles on them that you do not see on other doors wether exterior or interior. the red items are port holes.

Thanks FFG-7. Good to know about the handles on the doors indicating water tight vs normal.

Thanks again.
