You can also click on this to make it bigger and on some computers you will even be able to magnify one part of the ship at a time. For example, I noticed the three inch diameter internal barrel guns and the 20 mm machine guns on the bow the stern and in the front and rear of the bridge. But, if a torpedo was shot
at this ship it was toast just like all other ships of that era. In fact by enlarging and then magnifying it on the stern I just realized that the stern gun is a 5 inch gun compared to the 3 inch diameter internal gun barrel on the bow. IF you have ever looked at a cannon a 5 inch gun means it's projectile is 5 inches wide which is a pretty big cannon. Also, they had 3 anti-aircraft 20mm guns, two on the Bridge and one on the stern.
I'm thinking that the Tween Deck is where the Galley and the crew's quarters were. And the cargo holds and the boiler and steam engines were below the crews quarters nearer the Cargo holds where food and weapons and tanks and trucks and planes were stored. LIkely some smaller boats like PT boats might have been stored in holds too. John F. Kennedy was the famous Captain of PT-109.
