Does anyone know what specification the Navy uses to define proper
crash loading of structures in the cargo bay of the aircraft? I know
the numbers 16G's forward, 20G's down, etc., but I'm assuming this is
formally documented in a military or civilian standard. I'm not
having much luck finding it.

You could start with MIL-A-8865B(AS) "Airplane Strength and Rigidity
Miscellaneous Loads"
