Im making a IJN Tachibana class destroyer. These got launched in late 44 and 45. Anyone know if they had linoleum on their decks. Ive seen them painted either way. I read here though that linoleum wasnt used in late war as it was a fire hazard.

Any help appreciated.

Yes. They did have linoleum on their decks. The linoleum that was removed during the war was internal.
