Living in a machine with over 100 sailors requires a person to be flexible socially and sometimes physically. I spent two decades on United States Navy submarines performing sonar duties among eccentric personalities in incredibly stressful situations. When sailors report to their first submarine, they are joining a work culture unlike any other. Surrounded by crew members busily moving about tight spaces and narrow walkways, announcements over the circuit boxes, roving watchstanders, equipment humming to 400hz fans, it can be anxiety-inducing to any sailor.

saw this yesterday on my Samsung 'discovery's app tablet...but didn't know if it's entirely true or new info & knew you'd probably post it anyway!:D

It’s a good thing that they’re all volunteers, we learnt that the hard way when a guy who didn’t want to be on subs got put on the HMAS Onslow and nearly sank it when he had a breakdown.
