Part 2/6:
As one looks towards the bow of the ship, there's a profound sense of history in observing how the crew would manually trigger guns. Shells, specifically three and a half inch caliber, would be transported through an internal elevator and meticulously handled before being placed into racks that fed directly into the guns.
The Burma Road Passage
Transitioning from the gun control room leads us to the Burma Road passageway, a vital corridor within the vessel, serving as its circulatory system. This narrow hallway connects the bow to the stern and provides access to various crucial areas of the ship.
