Being in the Marines I was on the Tarawa and some troop transports but that was about it.
Did plenty of bar crawling all over Asia though!

Clarification for those that don't know...decks on an aircraft carrier are numbered as such. 3 was the deck number, 255 was the number of frames from bow to stern so 255 was near the back of the ship. 0 was how far from midships and L was for left or R for right side of the ship...why not port and starboard...not sure.
O-8 (Maybe a few higher...nosebled sections of the tower area and vultures row and bridge etc up in this area)
O-7
O-6
O-5
Flight deck (think this was O-4 but I rarely came up this far)
O-3
O-2
O-1

3
4 (Engine rooms, reactors and such below this level which is where I spent my time)

You got that pretty close from memory except for the letter at the end. That told you what the compartment was used for, L meaning living space.
