Yes, it got hot in the S and Central Pacific. I remember one of the logs mentioning the AC was working good when it was only 85F in the sub. I've seen lotsa movies and WWII sub film clips with shirts off. This was common. Only guys on subs in those days. While in battle you can't have guys passing out from heat if it can be helped.

What, like The Sims 3: Submarine Service?


;)

In the book "War in the Boats" the author writes frequently about the incredibly hot conditions in the sub in general. Temps of over 100 degrees seem to not be uncommon...

Jeeze, amazing more people didn't go nuts with the heat.

and not a tattoo in sight . Theres an idea .

Screenshots?

I dont even have the game yet but i can take my shirt off and take a pic if you really want .

And in S-Boats they didn't have air conditioning. They called them pigboats for a reason.

PD

Must be living hell on earth...:huh:

Well I think the real question is not if it is feasable to have a shirtless crew, but rather why this happens only when deep into a death dive.
