Hey Dick, I need your help. I am putting together an exhibit for the new big screen displays in Iowa’s museum space, the ones David Canfield put together, they now show the 360 degree photos of the off tour spaces.
I am writing the code for a new app that shows an elevation drawing of the Iowa (Actually the Wisconsin, because I don’t have digital Iowa plans) in cutaway view. When our quests mouse over a compartment it will highlight and bring up a text box with a description of the space, we could also play a sound file description or video.
My problem is the plans are a little hard to read and some of these abbreviations I just don’t know.
I put yellow circles around the questions I have. I am hoping that you or anyone else out there can help me with this.

Thanks Craig

SD Storage = Supply Department Storage

PYRO LKR = Pyrotechnics locker

Might be a few here but many of those outlined are far newer than the 1936 nomenclature. Still an interesting site for understanding how a ship is broken down section by section. Their knowledge base is very informative with manuals.

Top profile: AFFF Compartment: Carried AFFF Fire Fighting equipment in case a helo landed too hard and ruptured a fuel tank or two.
SD Storeroom for Ship's Dry Stores.
UNA: Unassigned Space. Usually used by crew to stow 1,100 feet of Nylon Double Braided towing line.

2nd profile down: FO Optical Workshop: Flight Operators (Air Controllers) workshop to clean, repair and/or recalibrate Optical equipment for guiding in Helos or RPVs.
Faccon Area Number 1: Control station plus maintainance of Foam Fire Fighting equipment in the Main Machinery Spaces.
IC Repair Shop. Repair of Interior Communications equipment.

3rd profile down: Rocket Assisted "Torpedo Magazine". Actually not torpedoes but Signal Flares. The other side of that compartment stowed signal floats, balloons, etc.
Marine's Storeroom. Stowed bulkier items for the ship's 45 Marines where there wasn't enough room in their
quarters surrounding Barbett III. Particularly Landing Gear.
WR Storeroom: Wardroom Storeroom.
