dnk, ive been inside u505, the german "unterseeboot" that was captured by the crew of the U.S.S. Guadalcanal in 1944, it now resides in the museum of science and industry in chicago, even though im 5'6", i was amazed at how tight it was for me to move around in there, if you google the museum they show how they moved it into the museum.

There's an old sub like that in Peral Harbor that we toured. Really cool boats. I want the fans. ( I collect old fans)

Ah, the Pamp.
They do a really nice job of maintaining that pigboat.
To serve, you MUST "qualify", and earn your "fish".
Takes 6 months to one year, and you KNOW the systems on your boat, bucko!

GOING to ban?
heck, they did away with that in about '95.
Best cooks and best food (or, used to be, anyway).
You as a cook find yourself on the wrong side of the crew, you might just find yourself bobbing on an LST in the middle of the ocean.
We would have meals with steak AND lobster...all you could eat.
Come back drunk at 0230 with a string of drunk Limeys in tow, fire up the grill and the reefer and make BLT's for everyone.
Mid-rats could be iffy.
HorseXXXX and rolls.
I don't recall how big the coffee pots were, but there were two of them, mounted side-by-side in the mess decks, over 100 cup units.
One on-line, the other brewing, 24/7.
You earned it.
You have no idea how fast your hair could turn grey when some danged Rooskie boat decided to do a "crazy Ivan" and come back down your throat.
Best hope you were several hundred feet below him.
I could tell you stories, but there are reasons we can't.
You have a fire (and we drilled constantly, and actually had a few), there is NO PLACE to go.
You don the EAB (Emergency Air Breather) mask, clip the regulator to your belt, plug into the nearest manifold.
One of the finals on quals was to put an EAB on you with the lense taped over, plug it in, call back to Maneuvering, tell them to watch out for the NQP on his way (non-qual puke) and send you off.
You had to KNOW where those manifolds were, as in an emergency there may be NO lights and LOTS of smoke.
Some were inside locker doors.
Reactor Scram at greater than 400 feet, switches to batteries (which don't last long), secure all non-essential equipments, sonar sweeps, and you come up FAST.
Sweep with the 'scope, raise the schnorkel mast, light off the FM diseasemal, engage the generator, and have enough power to re-light the reactor when they dsicover why is scrammed.
Groundings can be interesting.
BTDT.
I even chatted with the former CO of San Francisco after it hit that uncharted (on their charts) undersea mount at MUCH greater than 20 knots and DEEPER than 400 feet.
THAT was a mess.
Bottom line, when something goes wrong, you can't run, hide, bail out or walk away.
You get to deal with it up-close and personal.
