1954 - Canvas Bunks Take Place of Hammocks in New British Aircraft Carriers.. To improve living conditions of ships companies - canvas bunks are to replace the traditional hammocks in the new aircraft carriers the Centaur and Albion.. The bunks are so designed that they can be stowed when not in use and the extra space for which nests of tables are provided - can be use for recreational purposes.. Keystone Photo Shows: Scene in the Communication Mess Deck at Telegraphists play cards - using one of the portable tables - while on left a colleague lowers his canvas bed.. Seen aboard H.M.S. Centaur at Portsmouth today
