all the boats had wood decking
US fleet boats as well as IJ. Teak planks over steel framework and teak hatches reinforced with steal framework. Teak is resiliant in water and is cheaper then steel and does not get as slipery when wet. Decks were coated with coal dust mixed with diesel oil to keep the wood waterproof and dark, as not to be seen by aircraft when just below the surface.
