Jason (not to steal your thunder, Cliffy) -The asphalt floor tiles look like the same stuff you'd see on the floor of a supermarket (and are just just like the same area aboard the Iowa)... were they from the 80's refit? If so, what was on the bridge deck in WWII and is it still under the asphalt tiles? Also, are the wood grain interior panels original? Again, the Iowa has them but the Missouri doesn't... unless they have been painted over on the 'Mo.
The floor tiles are from the '80s - all such materials are removed during decommissioning, at least they were when the IOWAs were decomm'ed in the mid-50's. All the bridge decks from WWII-1958 were painted steel, probably painted pea green as was NEW JERSEY's. The bridge tiles were an '80s addition.
Wood panels on the bridge cover the original brass which required polishing - the 80's refit brought the addition of the bridge paneling (also on NEW JERSEY) in order to remove the need for upkeep. The brass is still there, you just can't see it. IMHO it's a disgrace to have covered all this up for the sake of appeasing the cry babies who didn't want to do a bit of manual labor to keep everything "shipshape". NEW JERSEY during the Vietnam Era commission had the original bridge intact - brass and steel deck. We DID have the green linoleum tiles throughout the ship in berthing spaces, passageways (halls), and messdecks. These were stripped in the '69 decommissioning process as were all wood paneling that adorned the various dept. head offices. The Enlisted Personnel Office (my duty station) also had some wood paneling and a wooden counter at the entrance - all removed at decomm. This also applied to the many stanchions and vents throughout the ship that were adorned with fancywork. All removed at decomm.
One other note on this subject matter - During the '60s, the holystoning of the teak decks was also a time consuming (but necessary) task. Various alternatives were explored - and rejected. NOTHING can take the place of actual manual labor to keep the teak decks clean. I don't know what they did in '80s/'90s with the mentality that was in place at that time.
I'm also pretty sure the wood panels are veneer over some sort of laminate, IE read as cheap furniture panels
