Question: Did all Mk2 carriers have mount blocks for fording plates?
What was the guidance on Mk2 carriers having the blocks around the top of the hull for mounting the temporary wading plates/ fording plates?
Does anyone have an original to photo and measure? Most carrier pics have the welded on mount blocks with no "cover" or bolts. Any reference to the waterproofing tar - Bostic? - being cleaned off after Normandy? Was it allowed to wear off? Was there a set date after D-Day that the troops stopped waterproofing their carriers? I am assuming they stopped pretty quickly after the beach-heads were secure, but just have never read anything on the topic. |
