I've been sorting through my reminder post-its by the modelling desk, one of which was ship with tanker deck. I'd watched the film Above us the Waves the day before (which includes a sub taking on oil from a tanker) so I decided to make an alternate deck for my small coastal ship...
I cut a new deck base out of cardboard and put in a central walkway with a handrail from thin wire, then added some detail using oddments from the plastic bits-box...
I got out my home-made submarine to put alongside asking for a refill....
the sub also needs some work to give it a better look, its a bit narrow (showing a bit more of the hull would be nice)

That's a great ship. Fully scratch built?
The hull of the ship I picked up at a Toy & Train fair a long while back, the aft structure & bridge is scratch built and I used a couple of model ship bits for detailing.
The other two deck options can be seen here.. http://ww2tanksalot.blogspot.com/2016/09/small-coastal-ship-completed.html
A nice third option...gives it a bit more of a modern look.
