Cerberus Today. The Flying Deck has been completely removed and we are looking at the Breastwork Deck.

What looks like the Funnel is in fact the Conning Tower. mouseover on main image This was not used to "con" (navigate) the ship, but rather to direct the fighting during a battle situation. Towards the bow (left) of the Conning Tower can be seen the opening where the funnel mouseover on main image was removed to allow the engines to be taken out. To the right of the Conning Tower a round opening for the Aft Ventilating Shaft mouseover on main image can be seen and to the right of this a square opening is where the Aft Companionway mouseover on main image Hatch was.
