The Ohio's actually have bunk "rooms" which allows for easier integration, whereas fast boats berthing is more akin to a passageway. And ya got a little typo there, Columbia SSBNs and Virginia Blk 4 SSNs.

I can't voice my real opinion without getting into trouble so I'm gonna keep quiet.  |
Number 1 is very real and will sometimes happen on purpose in order to avoid going on deployment. As for number 2, there's men who can't pull their own weight and whine and complain all the time as well.
On another note, wasn't it the Wyoming that had the shower cams installed in the officers head?
