Because mention is made about going up the stairs to the Dragondeck, we know that this area is one deck higher than the main deck, and the galley is directly under this, with the Aviator cabins the next deck below that. Because of this, the Poop Deck must be at least one deck higher than the Dragondeck, so the helmsmen can see over the dragons to steer the ship. |
Now, in Throne of Jade, mention is made of two large cabins (these would have the large windows) at the back of the ship that get chopped up for Prince Yongxing, Liu Bao & Sun Kai. HMS Victory has three such rooms; two being large cabins, and the third being a wardroom (dining/recreation room), which we know the Allegiance has. Because only two such cabins are mentioned, we could assume that the Allegiance has the same number of decks as the Victory. | Now, in Throne of Jade, mention is made of two large cabins (these would have the large windows) at the back of the ship that get chopped up for Prince Yongxing, Liu Bao & Sun Kai.
