2.3.4 The starboard front bulkhead - Page 12
 
0082

Before conclusions are drawn, the situation on the inside of the void space on B-deck level behind the starboard front bulkhead with the starboard actuator on its foundation welded to B-deck and on the strong visor lugs behind the strong deck beam in way of frame 159 needs to be demonstrated. Various details are indicated by arrows as follows:

  arrow 1 = the visor lugs by which the actuator was connected to the visor
  arrow 2 = the starboard securing hook of the bow ramp engaged in the mating lug
  arrow 3 = the area of damage
  arrow 4 = the transverse hp profiles numbered 1-4
  arrow 5 = the starboard front bulkhead
  arrow 6 = the area, where the flat bars with the rubber packing in between was fitted to the outside of the bulkhead
  arrow 7 = the location of the explosive charge
  arrow 8 = the steel flap, having been part of the bulkhead, pushed forward by the explosion
  arrow 9 = the deck opening for the starboard actuator of the bow ramp
  arrow 10 = the foundation of the visor actuator
  arrow 11 = the recess bulkhead
  arrow 12 = the upper starboard securing bolt of the bow ramp
