Navy Nuclear Weapons

Reply to--Bill Melby about another passage from the forward mag-I served on the Hancock which is, I believe, pretty much if not exact set up as the Hornet. There is a "hatch" that opens up onto the third deck around the elevator that we used to move weapons from the forward mag (5th deck to 3rd). I remember using it when we worked all nite on X-mas eve to repair the elevator. Most always it was locked and never used-might look into this and maybe they could open the forward spaces. rosey
