WWII Carrier Deck Color Question
Posted by kielers

I know that the majority of WWII Essex class carrier decks were painted deck blue 20-N, or something like that, I don't have the paint tins in front of me right now. My question is were the metal tie-down strips and elevator frames also painted over with the same color, or did they remain bare metal?
Thanks for your help.
