Does anyone know where I can find some war ship interior photos?


I need source material from the interior of WW2 war ships (destroyers, battle ships, cruisers). I am especially interested in images from the turrets, magazine and all places in between. I also need pics of the hulls from the inside.
Images taken of the ship as it was in WW2 are preferred.
*edit* also pics of portholes!

Google isn't throwing up much and I'm not totally sure what to search for, anyone know some good links or images?

Many thanks for any help!

Not a photo but maybe a good place to start:

It is public domain too.

Another wiki: Iowa's handling room.

If you feel like a trip you could get into the turret of the Belfast.
It's still there last I saw :)

Thanks very much! :D
Got anything like this for smaller ships? Destroyers?
Sorry to be so fussy!

*edit* Belfast is ideal! I'll do some googles for that! Cheers!

Ha! Compare that to the air gun they used to defend that port in WW2!
