I spent two years on one like that in the early 60's.

You are a very brave man, my wife is claustrophobic and wouldn't even board her.

I went on a sub in Wilmington NC. Even on that one I couldn't imagine the life, let alone the Hunley. These were brave men

On the USS Drum it was very cramped - I can't imagine being underwater - cramped - for days or weeks, even months. I salute anyone serving on a sub!

Ditto. I had planned to convert to Nuclear Power and go sub duty while in the Navy. That wasn't meant to be, one sees later in life.

My mom's uncle was commander of a sub during WWII and that was hell on earth, believe me.

I do agree that it was.

sub during WWII and that was hell on earth,

As a 20-year bubblehead in the '75-'95 era, I can tell you those WWII guys had balls of steel. I thank God for their bravery.

I thank you for your service. In WWII those bubbleheads FOUGHT, sometimes hand-to-hand, boarding ships, on islands. And those boats were diesels, imagine not too quiet?

You just know they found a roll of duct tape in there. No good Southerner travels without a roll of duct tape! (I sure don't!)
