Where did all the airlocks go?

[Klaus Kipling]

Was perusing Fighting Ships, and it turns out that none of the battleships has any airlocks..... :?

The crews sealed over the airlocks because 'adventurers' kept sneaking aboard through them.

These are the publicly available plans, deliberately drawn without airlocks to bugger up the Zhodani who might want to use them to break in.

Of course, nobody told the architects that the Zhodani can just teleport their troops in anyway ...

Do they have ship bays - no real need for separate airlocks then...

 

[Klaus Kipling]

The Tigress has nice accessible fighter bays, but it's 10 boats are all packed in like sausages on a last in, last out basis.

Ah well. Maybe they weld the crew in?

Airlocks are overrated, they only make people lazy.

When someone wants to enter or leave a battleship, he calls for the Ma-
rines and they use a breaching charge to open the way, which keeps both
the Marines and the damage repair teams busy and in good training.

Actually if you think about it, that is what all the windows are for. How else do you air out the bridge when the captain or admiral has been smoking those disgusting cigars or pipes that smell so horrible that you wonder what the messhall has been making that went horribly right.
