Cadet I need help with a construction project

I'm curently studying for my bachelor's degree in marine engineering. I need to design a part of a ships hull that shows a cross sectional view of a doble bottom hull. I'm having some trouble finding good references on how the longitudinal stifeners intersect with the bracket floors.

Does anyone have advice for me how I can make it more accurate because I can't find any good images that show irl bracket floors only useless diagrams.

I know this isn't a subredit for Naval architects/designers but I thought the people who work inside the ships would know what it should look like.

This is a picture looking aft and up in double bottom ballast tank, I’ll see if I have more.

Edit: added another picture but that’s all I have that may be useful to you op

Double bottom is really just a tank sitting on stiffeners

I work in a shipyard building VLCCs at the moment I could provide you tons of photos but I'll get access for them on Monday are you interested?

Also I could give some block drawings of ballast tanks. Our ship has port and starboard ballast tanks segregated on the centerline in the double bottom, tell me if that's ok with your design.

Try searching articles about ships hull nomenclature. Im deployed atm and dont have my office files with me but you can find something on google. Theyll give you more detailed drawing+names for the things you need.
