Long ago and far away [1967 - 1969] I did several 90 day "rides" on the USS Blueback [SS-581]followed by a couple aboard the USS Shark [SS-591]
Isn't the USS Blueback on display for tours at OMSI in Portland, Oregon now? I've been through it. It's a small diesel/electric sub. No fun being crammed in there for 90 days, even by yourself! Did you happen to notice there is very little headroom?
Granted newer boats offer a bit more room and "privacy" in Officers Quarters however, an officer won't be spending all of her time in her "room."
Yeah, she'll be renting it out for $100/hour. And there is plenty of headroom in the newer subs. :-) |
