View Full Version : Do Warships have elevators? Bay7 03-13-2005, 12:49 PM DO warships and carriers etc have elevators or just ladders and stairways? I know cruise ships have elevators, I was just wondering if military ships do too. Cheers, Mike StarCruiser 03-13-2005, 06:12 PM Ladders and stairways only - unless you count the elevators on carriers (for aircraft)... Actually - they also tend to use elevators for ammo to the flight-deck and I suppose some more modern ships might have freight elevators as well... mactrek 03-13-2005, 07:29 PM Enterprise (CVN-65) has an elevator that runs from the O-3 level up through the island structure. I don't know if it still works ... But it's there. PerfesserCoffee 03-13-2005, 09:09 PM FFGs have a central elevator for lowering supplies and parts to the pantry and to the engineering areas.

Came right down to sick bay's front door too. It was a nice touch. Not counting the dumbwaiters or service elevators I think the only true elevator otherwise was on a WWII BB from what I've heard. But what do I know, I was just in the Navy for 10 years. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
