Heh! NOW think about squeezing 5 or 6 men at a time in that escape trunk, if it ever came down doing the old 'blow & go' to escape the boat! That was the drill, so you could evac the max number of crew with the least cyclings of the trunk.
You left out the part about flooding the trunk before opening the upper hatch.
