@jerm8146 I can imagine all that! Cool reflections. I think I would appreciate the close knit aspect the most. I always wanted that and didn't much find that when I was in.
Carriers and larger ships can have a lot to offer as far as size, variety, diversity, options, open space, crannies, noise, recreational choices, more people... But you don't have that socially intimate feeling usually. Sometimes you do if you have a close workcenter and enough supportive folks in your division, and/or decent people in the upper ranks, but that greatly varies. I did not that feel that from my group on ship 1 but ship 2 was somewhat different. Less stressful by leagues so that helped, and kind of nice to be on a brand new ship. Incredibly clean and fresh feeling as contrast to the very old enterprise.
Do sub crews have access to radio and TV??? Do you surface regularly? Are there swim days? We swam in the gulf and lemme say that was a trip. Water was like bath water (so awesome) and the heat in the engine spaces was unbelievable. We had to wear ice vests which were incredibly relieving for about 10 minutes, then they wore off. I had it easy as an EM with AC, my mechanic friends had it much harder.
Gulf heat will rapidly give you your heat wings. July and August in the gulf regions will rapidly build your heat tolerance to new levels. I've known desert heat before but this was still a serious experience. I would occasionally wake up with my eyes puffed almost shut from the stuffy air. But we managed to roll with it. Sweating was the default lol.
Is there a way to smoke on subs?
I love water and being underwater but a long underwater cruise would be different, but I imagine you get used to it, like most things. I probably would too I suspect.
