Interviewer: Did it feel real crowded on the ship most of the time?
Johndrow: No. When I went aboard the ship we had quite a transition. When we came back from our North Atlantic cruise, and, we went into the yards for a complete overhaul. I believe it was the Charlestown Yard. And that was when they took the troughs out of the heads, and they put tile on the decks and the berthing spaces, and they completely renovated the mess decks and it really made a big difference. Because when you got up in the morning and slapped your flat feet out on the cold clammy wet steel deck in the morning that you couldn't hardly stand up on because of the condensation from everybody breathing down there because you didn't have the ventilation down there to speak of. The tile on the deck really made a big difference.
