Pretty pathetic IC.

IrishCatholic has nailed it. LPD 12 (USS Shreveport) was the largest ship the Navy has had the privilege of toting my sorry ass around. The berthing is spartan. Privacy, zero. When I lay down to sleep, 13 inches separated me from the next jarhead above, 5 layers deep.

With a CVN (aircraft carrier) space can be made.

When you get to boat as small as an SSBN (ballistic missile sub), dry goods are stacked in the passageways.

Drop down to SSN (fast attack sub), junior crew share racks (bunks). One gets out of bed to man his post, and one coming off duty crawls in. Hotbunking, they call it.

Can ya almost see where he is coming from?

Semper Fi!
