There is an anchor locker in the forepeak. The force of the explosion damaged the watertight bulkhead between hold one and the forepeak. During the action, "Laforey" sustained damage to her forepeak. "Wellington" was in bad condition, having been torpedoed in the forepeak. There is a forward hanging locker and a forepeak storage compartment. The head and a hanging locker are forward, just aft of the forepeak V-berth. In the forepeak, there was a Baby Blake sea toilet and hand wash basin. The admiral, when shown the forepeak, apologised, not having realised how badly damaged "Burza" was.
