The doors are inboard of the openings, close from forward to aft and are in three sections I believe. They slide on a metal track.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

CVN-65 Elevator doors
Posted by jmathewstn on Sunday, April 2, 2006 1:41 PM
I’m trying to find info on the hangar deck doors for CVN-65 Enterprise. Not the blast doors on the inside. The doors from the elevators into the hangar deck.

All the pics I find show the doors open. I can see the two sets of oval openings with a space between the openings. Are the doors in between the two sets of oval openings, or outboard or inboard of both openings?

Seems like I read that there are either two or three sections for each door? Is that right?

Do the doors all close in the same direction? Or is it different for each door or each side of the hull?

I’ve got the D&S Enterprise book, and I’ve looked at a lot of pictures on various sites. I’m sure the info must be right in front of me, but I sure can’t spot it.

Thanks!
Jack
