A picture:
It's not entirely clear to me if this is the same boat, but this is supposed to be the interior of the S-301.

I don't know if they'd sell you one or not, but they're on this website:

What’s with the wooden board on the floor?

Needs a feminine touch.

If they are working on it in the photo, maybe it's to keep tools from falling through the perforated decking.

Not much for creature comforts visible there — but that doesn’t seem to be a big thing with SEALS, anyway...

What’s with the wooden board on the floor?You got me, I was a tanker not a squid. Maybe it has to do with the fact it's still in development? Or maybe the metal floor was slippery when wet?
To: Dr.Zoidberg
Thanks! That makes sense.

This thing is designed to get the SEALS from a mother ship to near their objective, so it’s not for long voyages. Looks like they’d be pretty well stuffed in there if it took the full complement.

Does that garage door in the third photo have an automatic opener?

Looks like some of those edges and corners might be rough on wet suits, etc... My guess is that the photos were made without some protective/cushioned covers in place.
Even the Hunley's interior looked more roomy and "people friendly"...

What’s with the wooden board on the floor? That is a $4200.00 wooden "board", it is "special", it is really not a board in the conventional sense at all, it is actually layers of wood, bound together with a glue, once formed it can be cut with a saw into different sizes at the users end. Fascinating stuff.

Is that first picture a Photoshop job or is this thing actually under water with no visible crew?
