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!! ;>)

That's okay and it's common enough. The sailors who end up serving on a sub want to be there and aren't bothered by being in close quarters and tight spaces for 90 days at a time. It's not for everybody.
