    Could you live in a cramped, pressurized, under-water cylinder for several months? Here is why it sucks to live on a submarine.
    A full day rotation on a submarine is 18 hours not 24! There are three, six-hour shifts of working, private time, and sleeping. It is physiologically and psychologically punishing on your body.
    Submariners don’t have personal beds. They practice hot-bunking, which means that when you are out and about for your day, someone else is sleeping in your bed! There are only two showers for the entire crew, and the maximum showering time is 3-5 minutes.
    The seating on the mess deck is minimal! It is where sailors eat, and only six to a dozen people at a time can sit there. Too bad if you like to nibble on your food.
    And I guarantee you are not on a submarine right now. The crew are not allowed to communicate with the outside world because it can give away the sub’s stealth position to enemy.

    Time in the shower isn't monitored because you do it in your free time. The amount of water you use is. Turn the water on, get wet, turn it off and soap up. Then turn on again to rinse off. When they're doing a citric acid cleaning of the evaporator, it has to run continuously for a while so "Hollywood showers" are authorized. Use as much water as you want. There are small electric heaters for each shower so the water is warm but never hot. That's my insight on that part of submarine life.

      @@jzjzjzj Absolutely! The idea is not being stingy with water, but what it costs to make the water. You'd have to have a watchstander who has other important responsibilities start up the evaporator or RO unit, run pumps, and use up steam and electrical power. The reactor lasts for decades before refueling but that refuel is like, a billion dollars. So conserving that energy is prioritized. This whole evolution makes noise and is costly in several other ways. In the military, if a problem can be solved by making a sailors/soldiers life slightly more miserable, then it's an easy call.

    Actually there is 5 showers onboard for a crew of about 120.
    The watch rotation is 3 (8) shifts to make one 24 day. This is accompanied by 3 meal . Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is a dining area for enlisted and officers. You can fit 10-12 in officer dining. While the enlisted dining can fit 28. One table of 4 and four tables of 6. Hope this helps, active submariner here.

      There are times when hot-bunking happens on Boomers. There aren't any "extra" bunks. This is usually during acceptance testing before the Navy accepts the newly constructed boat from the yard, testing of new or upgraded equipment, test launches etc.

    Some notes from a submariner. I've been in 2 classes, the Ohio class ballistic missile sub and a newer Virginia class.
    1) we have moved away from 18 hour days and now do 24 hours. This is due to studies showing the 18 hour shift was too taxing on the physical and mental state of the crew.
    2) hot bunking, or hot racking, is generally only if absolutely necessary. Mostly happens when more than just the crew is underway. We do everything we can to minimize this practice but sometimes it is unavoidable.
    3) showers are split between lower enlisted, E-6 and below, E-7 and above, officers, and the commanding officer and executive officer share one. Laundry however there are 2 washing machines and dryers on an Ohio class but only 1 of each on a Virginia class
    4) crews mess, where we eat can sit about 40 on an Ohio class submarine and 28 on a Virginia class during meals.

    4 & 2 hour shifts in 24 guard duty sucked the big one. Don’t know if they were just short of bodies or what but 4 in 2 off in some of the coldest night time temps we saw at Ft Jackson. No heat no sitting standing with requirement to cover the ground between the guard posts every few minutes. No cold weather gear. Jus fatigue coat, standard wool glove liners and dress/multi preposterous black leather outers. For some reason they would not allow us to wear our used heavy cotton snow pants. But the shift rotation was what really sucked for me as I could barely get to sleep in two hours knowing I had to be back in station in two hours which meant our sleep time with transit to and from locations made it more like 1.5 hour of possible sleep time if you didn’t need to crap or get chow.

      Well there are several reasons to this.
      First off phones can make calls when the sub is not submerged, but you have to be near a reciever in a costal area and that's very rare, the only way to make calls while submerged is a radio buoy that's limited to the depth, and that's limited by the depth and is only used by commanders and officers
      Even if you could use phones underwater it would probably not be allowed to not expose the position of the sub.

    Awesome video and about working hours while underway it's 16 hours. 8 hours on watch, 8 hours off-going, and then 8 hours on-coming or rack time before you start the whole day all over again. Most subs have switched to that rather than 4 6 hour shifts for better circadian rhythm. Also for better productivity.

      Yes, but that would allow a lack of training in different parts of the say, night is different than day, different evolutions, blowing sans, dumping TDU cans, ventilating, training cycles such as fire drills, flooding drills, battlestations, meals. A crew must cycle thru all these evolutions consistently to remain trained and vigilant.

      ⁠@@Chinfo32when my boat switched from four sixes to a 24 hour schedule, we rotated each watchsection through the shifts about once a month. on top of that, drills were all hands anyway, so no real training value was lost because some mm3 didn't blow sans for a couple weeks

    I play poker for a living and I bet I make more than most of these sailors. Respect to them for living and working on that thing.
