I believe the sleeping accommodations are sometimes referred to "jack racks" for a reason.

I can only give my first-hand experience, but what I noticed on my 11 or so underways, is that it seems fine fairly quick once the hatches close, but something happens at about week 3 (plus or minus a couple days). It's then that we had what was referred to as "hate week", where everyone, from the nubliest nub (which is New Underway Buddy) to the CO is just *GRUMPY* at everything.

HAha, I remember my dad, who is a Dutch submarine veteran, telling me about the "vented poop tank" and how they used pressurized air to dump it overboard. I don't know if this was different for you guys, but on his boat they had to get the air out out of the tank before they could start filling it again. The way they did that was to simply vent it back into the boat. They did have filters to make sure no particles and pathogens would enter the sub, but it didn't quite get rid of the smell :)

According to another tour video on a Virginia class, "Hot racking" is still existed. Some 150 crew have to share 112 billets. Originally US navy want to man a Virginia class with a smaller crew (around 113) than Los Angeles class with higher degree of automation so each sailor onboard has its own rack, in theory. Yet this did not happened, the crew size of a Virginia class is 135 when commissioned (some description is 150).

Nice insight. As someone who has never served in the military a big question is how do you deal with diseases and injuries on board. In such a tight space diseases must spread like crazy and I don't even want to imagine the situation if something like norovirus or something similar spreads on board. Similar thing with injuries or other common health issues like teeth issues, appendicities, slipped disks etc. How do you deal with that when you are in the middle of nowhere an do not have the necessary personnel or facilities to deal with? How do you keep the submarine operational when a large portion of the crew is sick and effectively unable to operate the sub?

[@MarkLawrenceKiefer]

We have a Hospital Corpman on board, but not like a regular Corpsman. The Doc goes through an Independent Duty Corpsman C school that is specific to Subs. They are able to handle most situations and the Wardroom table can be turned into a makeshift operating table. Doc can handle pulling a tooth or an appendix. You don't want him to almost as much as he doesn't want to. We can med evac someone who is injured off the boat to a larger combatant, onto a helicopter, or if we are near shore we can pull in at hand them over to a hospital. That handles that end of it. Once you are on board and the hatch is closed we were on our own but we also only have what we brought with us. So diseases aren't really a thing. Someone will always bring some version of a cold on board that will get passed around. During the early part of COVID I heard that some boats just sort of went to sea and stayed out. There wasn't a big break out of COVID on any subs I don't think. A couple of the carriers had it pretty bad. I did tours on 4 subs and never had a large portion of the crew get sick, other then sea sick during a rough and long surface passage. During that one the people that could stand watch did stand watch. It worked out.
