Hey Mike, are you sure it is diesel fuel and not #2 bunker used in the main boilers? Just asking since I served on a WW II carrier in Vietnam and we only used # 2 bunker for the boilers, not diesel. Diesel was used for the aux power engine aft of the island on the starboard side below the main deck.
The engines are diesel and bunker C is the next step in the refining process. Pearl Harbor calls it diesel and I did not argue with them.
