[Milsurplus] Carrier Radio Rooms

[J. Forster]

I'm no expert, but on MASSACHUSETTS Radio Central is like the pic from
Nick that started this thread....  essentially a number of operating
stations with reciecers and typewriters.

The Crypto room is next door, as is the CIC and Fire Control. It's
literally only a few feet between Radio Central and CIC with the RADARs,
plotting boards, etc.

The big transmitters are a couple of decks down and quite a ways from
Radio Central.

Radio Central is pretty close to the heart of the ship and is easily
accessible via stairways (companion ways). The transmitters are down
vertical ladders, through hatches. Very scary, IMO.

Best,
