We didn't go through the reactor tunnel to get to the engine room. I think that was the hallway that was beyond that door in the command room that I wasn't allowed in. Tell you the truth, it was so long ago, I dont remember the exact rout we took. I have vague memories of where everything is with the exception of most of the key areas I saw. I didn't see anything that looked like a nuclear reactor on our way back to the engine room but then again.. I wouldn't know one if I saw one. I don't remember if we went through the command room to get to the engine room or not. We may have walked through a hallway under it or something. I know we didn't go through the door in the command room that said "Authorised Personel Only" with the nuclear symbol on it that was to the left of the radio room door. |
If it was an LA class that door simpley went into the fanroom. It is directly in front of the reactor compartment and has radiation signs as it is an area where you are only allowed to spend so much time when the reactor is hot. The tunnel to the engine room is on the middle level aft of the crews mess. The tunnel goes down the side of the reactor compartment.
Lets' see. Served on the Jacksonville SSN-699 and Gurnard SSN-662.
