At random: Habitability is heavily stressed in the construction of modern submarines. Specially designed color schemes, mechanical conveniences, air conditioning, and the best chow in the Navy are supplied to make the vessels more livable. A full time staff is maintained by Electric Boat Division to work out 'human engineering' problems.

Subject: My First Dive

My very first dive on the Pickerel I was lookout. When we cleared the bridge for dive the officer was to hang on the lanyard while I cranked the hatch shut. When he hung on the lanyard it wrapped around the closing mechanism. I was not able to dog the hatch, and me being so green I thought it might be our last dive. It didn't help my panic when I started to hear water washing over the hatch. This happened my first day at sea.

As they used to say. "A near miss is a good learning experience, as long as you come out alive."
