I got to check one out once. It's way roomier than the movies and TV make it seem. Still tight quarters, but I could see how one could tolerate it just fine. A buddy of mine was a cook on subs as well and he was telling me they never stayed down more than a few weeks anyway. He said they could go longer, sure, but they never did.

23 years with the Coast Guard (20 active, 3 civilian after I retired), then 14 more with the U.S. Marshals. All of it good! Retirement house is near the Naval Hospital complex so I get to hear colors every morning!. Life is good!

I heard that something was going on military wise 30 years ago now. Haven't seen any glimpse in the news though. Y'all heard anything? Sarcasm intended.

Same here, wouldn’t dream of being canned and submerged in salty brine.

I wouldn't even want to be on a ship/boat. Hard pass to being in the middle of the damn ocean surrounded on all sides by a never ending view of ocean.
