Not at all. If somebody has that inclination he won't be there to begin with. And the interior is very clean like the kitchen of a good restaurant. It's not unpleasant.

I went for a tour on the Nautilus in Groton. I'm 5 foot 8 and I was cranking my noggin on everything in sight. I guess the newer subs must use their space more efficiently. I've got the utmost respect and admiration for the sailors who can thrive in that environment.

On a vist to Galveston some years ago, I tried to go on the USS Cavalla at Seawolf Park. Got down the 1st ladder, then waited for the rest of the group to climb down, and then climbed right back up. I realized that I wasn't going to be able to handle the close quarters. I suspect that even the much much larger spaces of an Ohio class would not be pleasant for me, either.

It amazes me that some folks have a complete absence of claustrophobia and acrophobia. No prob, I've got enough of both so others don't have to!! ;>)
