~ Understanding the Ships ~
A "ship" at boot camp is truly just a building. They call it a ship just to get the newbies to start using that word. - Each ship (building) has their own name. For example, this ship is the USS Chicago (ship-7). You have others like
the USS Reuben James (ship-2), or maybe the USS Kearsarge (ship-11), or the USS Arizona (ship-14). - Each ship berthing has 3 floors. - On each floor they have 4 divisions. Two on one side, two on the other. So you have 3 floors x 4 divisions = 12 divisions
per ship. - Each division has ~88 recruits, so you have 88 recruits x 12 division = 1056 recruits per ship. However, during
the surge months, they can easily move walls and have ~84 recruits x 18 division = 1512 recruits per ship. - What people get messed up on is they think each ship graduates (PIR) on the same date. It doesn't. One a few
divisions will graduate. You can a couple divisions from USS Triton Ship-12, a couple from USS Arizona Ship 14, maybe 4 divisions the USS Kearsarge Ship 11, and maybe one division from the USS Chicago Ship 7. So at
PIR (graduation) many ships are represented. All the ship basically look exactly the same since they were constructed by the same construction company.
You will also see: The Galley (chow hall) and Training rooms are in the Right building, the center is the Quarter Deck (main entrance), and the right is the sleeping Compartments.
