Emergency generator room...
On the starboard side just aft of the mess deck is a compartment not often mentioned in DD recitals.
The Diesel generator room located at A-305-1E caught my attention several months back when reading the account of Halsey battling typhoons in the Pacific and unable to refuel his DD's that already had short legs in the a big ocean.
One of the accounts mentioned the blending of diesel fuel with bunker oil to extend the running time between unreps.
I wonder what and where the diesel was used and then connected the dots.
