Boy were you lucky getting a bottom bunk. But if the red light was on you probly had watch duty in four hours. And they usually make visitors sleep on a torpedo-—or between two?

My grandson had to sleep in the torpedo room for his whole first year under the water.

He served on the nuclear sub Jimmy Carter, for four years.

Thyey broke the days underwater record at that time.

IIRC, it was 169 days.
