Roger. The wooden doors are there purely to preserve some sort of air-conditioning boundary - they're used in lots of ships and are, as Roger says, removable. The idea is that you can have the full-on, steel, watertight door latched open (so the OOW can easily get onto the bridge wing in a hurry), but without asking your poor air conditioning plant to try cooling half of Hong Kong. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
