Nothing like the sound of a deck grinder taking up non skid. Right? Huh? I said Nothing like the sound of a deck grinder taking up non skid. Right? Huh? LOL I loathed that sound especially a deck below the hanger bay. That will be the major time consumer on this unless they have a faster way now.

Every once in a while I would check out the flight deck just to make sure nobody had painted “please drops chains here from 2200-0600 daily” above my stateroom.

*********************************
You were lucky to be below the Hanger deck! I was in V-2 Catapults and our berthing was only ONE deck below the Flight deck, just below the arresting gear! When we finished our launches for the night, we’d just be starting to get some sleep and the aircraft recovery would begin, with the planes hitting the deck plates about 4-5 feet above our compartment.
