   Yes, much of the innards of ships then were wood, bolted to steel.  My   
   Dad was a radioman in WWII (and translator as his parents were Germans   
   fleeing the Kaiser, born just as they set foot on American soil from   
   Ellis Island).   
      
   I'm retired Navy, ITCS RET.  Don is a retired Machinst Mate from the   
   Navy.   Charlottle is a CS2 (new name cooks, Culinary Specialist).
