I visited Chatham Dockyard in Kent recently. They have a submarine there that you can actually walk around in. Yikes.....I could not wait to get off. How so many people can work in such a confined space AND underwater for weeks at a time! They are either mad or deserve a medal! There was almost nowhere I could stand to my full 6ft 3 inches....nor lay down on. The kitchen had the square footage of a large hanky and turned out 3 meals a day for scores of sailors. A long hot shower? No way! Privacy in the loo? Fanciful thinking!
