I served aboard the Kennedy CV-67 in 89-89 and spent a couple of months TAD as a supply runner. I saw more of the ship than most of the ship's crew and definitely more than the airwing guys. I saw storage lockers all over the ship while I was picking up parts from tiny nylon nuts to heavy brass tail hooks. Some were guarded with controlled access and some were dark, remote and rarely accessed. Some were well below the waterline and had ghost stories attached to them like guys committing suicide in there and not being found until they were reported missing and an all-hands-muster was performed. I also worked the on aircraft in the hanger deck and the flight deck. Great fun

We can not confirm or deny the existence of nuclear weapons aboard our ships!

was a crew member on the USS Enterprise CVAN65 in 72and 73. we worked very long hours plus watches and replenishment rigs especially during combat operations in Vietnam. We didn't have much if any free time. what free time we had was usually spent eating,showering, and sleeping! most of the time you were lucky to get 4 hours of sleep.
at sea it was 7 days a week! But it was still the most memorable and rewarding of my seven years in the Navy! ( five years was sea duty)

Were the Engineering Spaces accessible on a Bird Farm, either conventional or nuclear? Closest I got to a carrier was the Yorktown at Patriots Point in Charleston, SC. Can't imagine life on a carrier, and this is coming from a sailor who went to sea on ship that sank itself on purpose!!!

On my submarine (an SSN), the only restricted areas were the Reactor Compartment (nukes only), the Radio Room, and the Battery Compartment. I was only able to get into Radio for repairs and to check out the electrical panels as an EM, but had "Sparks" accompany me. Top Secret area!

When the non-nukes were in the Engineering Spaces, they were told to let us know they were there. If they heard something over the 2MC (engineroom PA system) they didn't recognize, we told them to look at one of us. If we jumped, they were to head back forward immediately. If we didn't, they could be calm.

The Engineering Spaces were all-business and a person could get burned by hot metal or hurt by rotating machinery.

As a hull technician I went wherever some division needed shit fixed. Which was every division.
Without hull techs shit stays broken

I spent 4 years on the Enterprise. I explored the ship, from the reactor rooms, to the flight deck and island.

EM3 aboard the John S. McCain (DDG-56) …best two years of my life. We were free to roam the ship as we pleased, the only off-limits areas were CIC, Nixie room, Forward Sonar Dome, Forward and Aft Armories and the Bridge. Everywhere else, while open to the crew, was left alone unless you worked in that space. Great example: Battery Storage. Though it was open to crew, and a great alternative route into the ship, most people left it alone. During my years aboard I think I and another EM3 were the only ones who went there…the other guy to help me with something, and myself because I owned that space.

During my adventures around the ship, mostly because I just got off mid-watch and was bored, I did find some neat places no one really went to all that much. Spaces that only got cleaned during XOs happy hour and our yearly inspections.

I saw a couple of green shirts with VFA-137 the Kestrels. I was in VFA-137 many many years ago.
