TOPIC: Navy labeling

Created by: Robert_Hil Original Starting post for this thread:
As some of you know, I am writing a science fiction book and am trying to make it seem as real as possible. Mostly small things that add up. I have my characters in a ship and I understand most of the labeling which occurs with compartments. Every floor above 1 or main deck is a level 01,02,03,ect. Starbord of the keel is odd, while port is even numbers. Every compartment frame number relates to the first frame of the carpartment. I even understand most desinations like L is for living spaces. My questions are would the sick bay be an L or Q? Would the hanger/flight decks be C, E, or M? would armories for small arms be M or Q? I am hoping some former navy/marines would be able to answer these questions.

I have my characters in a ship and I understand most of the labeling which occurs with compartments. Every floor above 1 or main deck is a level 01,02,03,ect. Starbord of the keel is odd, while port is even numbers. Every compartment frame number relates to the first frame of the carpartment. I even understand most desinations like L is for living spaces.

My questions are
would the sick bay be an L or Q?
Would the hanger/flight decks be C, E, or M?
would armories for small arms be M or Q?
I am hoping some former navy/marines would be able to answer these questions.

Here you go... now you should have all your answers. :-) The Hangar deck is labeled the #1 deck of the ship; lower decks are numbered 2,3, etc. downward, while decks above the Hangar deck are numbered O-1, O-2, etc, upward. (The Flight deck is typically deck O-3.)

Does the thought of Frank being anywhere around NUKEs send chills up anyone else's spine? And why am I having visions of Slim Pickens riding to Armageddon waving a Twinkie in one hand and a Coors Light in the other?
