    USS Boxer 1946.

    I like that you can see the wooden deck and tie-towns.

    Very cool! Something I've always wondered, though....those transverse lines of perforations in the deck....What are they?

    I believe they are tie-downs recessed into the deck.

    Would they also act as a soak-away?
    I imagine deck ops could get pretty slippy in adverse weather

    Cool shots!

    @Capt. Vick. There is a helicopter so it could be downwash but certainly doesn't look like it. Depth charge maybe?
