In Battleship IOWA's Aft Catacombs

As you might have suspected, if there's a catacombs area under Turrets 1 and 2, there's one under Turret 3. We decided to crawl around the aft catacombs as well.

We found more tiny hatches, some interesting surprises, got up extremely close to the massive black cable octopus at the bottom of the electrical vault, and entered compartments that likely haven't been disturbed in thirty years.
