That depends on which direction you are facing.

Tell the class how the Navy numbers engines and bulkheads.


For extra credit, how does current flow through a circuit?

Positive to negative but the electrons that make up current flow from negative to positive. Electricity lives by its own rules.

In my experience current flows from the big @ss batteries that we lugged around to the Detroit Diesel's starter. If that worked then it flowed from the alternator back to the batteries usually, unless the T-Boat threw a belt.

I don't remember my YFNB barge/ex ww2 mini sub tender having compartment labels. We didn't have very many compartments.

From looking at photos, I think I see those rusty pipe section ballasts attached on the starboard side only.
