Pi' ' ' I 10m H Operational standpoint in time of war C O QC' fu ' 1 . the V1 Cla., Carrier has proved to be an outstanding ship. The fact that it has operated for long periods of blmC lH the tropics without having to return to base ' 1 for Supplies, etc., substantiates this assumption. The fact that this type of vessel has sustained major' damage and continued to operate or at least survive is the proof of its worthiness to be included in a Fleet whose primary purpose is to battle in the defense of the country. There are certain features of the ship ihich .f.f should be improved or redesigned in the inter ests of battle efficiency or health and comfort of the crew. Some of these are enumerated below.

Q2:s1.1,.5...BER,: 1U,INCj - Spaces designed for crew's berthing also proved inadequate for the final war time c mplement required. Additional bunks and locker spaces had to be installed wherever possible which resulted in congestion and over-crowding. No spaces were provided for the stowage of division laundry bags in which could be stowed the dirty clothes of the enlisted men. The laundry facilities only provided for one weeks service and it was necessary to stew laundry bags in passageways where they were untidy and in cases proved to be a real hazard to the fight- ing efficiency of the ship. Crew's spaces were also Q poorly ventilated for service in the tropics.' This will be covered under subject of ventilation. VENTILLTION - The exigencies of the recent war necessitated this vessel operating in tropical climates t ' erating under maximum water- and also necessita ea op tight integrity. This prevented any natural circulation of air between compartments and from exposed spaces.
