So How Much Room Is There, Actually?



They must be stacked like sardines in there, if the whole front
end is bombs…

  1. Stacked like sardines? These days it's probably only crewed with 10 swabbies and controlled from a bunker deep underground in the Colorado Rockies

    1. How many guys does it take to run a Boomer? It can't be that many, obviously...

    2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triomphant-class_submarine

      That appears to be this french one based on 16 tubes. It has 111 crew on board, crew get shared bunks so you hot bunk.

  2. That's the back end, not the front.
    Look at the sail, FFS.

    And boomers are so big, they're luxury duty, compared to hot-racking on attack boats.

  3. I could walk down passageway normally whereas on my fast attack I walked sorta crabwise with torso twisted because it was so narrow. still had to turn sideways if passing someone going other way. Of course "Down ladder" or "Up ladder" before starting up or down stairs because they were narrow.
