While I was on my tour of the Big J, In the museum section there were these awesome,
big pages of internal exploded views of each level in the Jersey called "DAMAGE CONTROL PLATES"
Upon inquiring about them I was told that all four Iowas had multiple copies of them, each ship
had different layouts, (as each ship had subtle differences) and that alot of them "dissapeared" into
private collections over the years......and most disheartening they have no copies available for sale
"WHAT A CRIME!!!!!!!" as these diagrams easily show see picture.....
The DC plates really show whats going on under Iowa classes hood......
there is no publication out there that even comes close to the details
on those plates, next summer when I visit family in Jersey again I plan to take a
series of better photos will post them when I do
If any WAF brothers have or have access to them, I would pay for copies..... : )
