Rereading Friedman's Cruiser book, again and I came across a statement that got me curious. Friedman includes removal of wood deck planking as part of the upgrades to a war footing. Anyone clarify this or "expand" on the statement? Did any cruisers have their deck planking removed, like the Omaha class??
