[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3691658, member: 7900"] Compared to the sailors on board the USS Alabama, those on the USS Drum had it even more cramped. Note the arrangement of bunks here, including the one located above the torpedo rack. I'd hate to have had to climb into that bunk, even when I was young and nimble. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Battleship-Memorial-Park-Mobile-AL/Submarine-USS-Drum/i-tPFzRTz/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Battleship-Memorial-Park-Mobile-AL/Submarine-USS-Drum/i-tPFzRTz/0/9ea85ebb/X2/DSC_4994-X2.jpg[/img][/url] Just a very few of the gauges, levers, and switches throughout the submarine. [url=https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Battleship-Memorial-Park-Mobile-AL/Submarine-USS-Drum/i-WgvswBd/A][img]https://photos.smugmug.com/Museums-and-Historical/Battleship-Memorial-Park-Mobile-AL/Submarine-USS-Drum/i-WgvswBd/0/9d883e49/X2/DSC_4986-X2.jpg[/img][/url] I also can't imagine rushing to battle stations through such a tiny "doorway."
