Hi all,

I wanted to share this experience.

I went through HMAS Onslow (Oberon class - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_Onslow) this week (she's docked in Sydney Harbour on display), and I was simply amazed at just how confined it felt being inside.

This might sound strange and even obvious to say, and as a long time fan of submarine warfare history I certainly didn't think it would be capacious, but the feeling inside was amazing, and has really given me a new perspective. I personally have no issue with confined spaces, but how you could hold your nerve in a cramped diesel-electric under sustained depth charging.

I don't post a lot here, but I thought this experience was worth sharing. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
