S-Boats = T.A.R.D.I.S. (Dr. Who fans will understand)
 
Is it just me or does the command room of the S-Boat seem spacious and roomy? Yet it is the smallest sub in the fleet!

Have the Philly Project boys managed to shift dimensions when retro-fitting the S-Boat. Or has the good Doctor shared some Galliferian technology with the USN!

It just seems much larger on the inside than on the outside.

I niticed this too, but not sure that the S-boat had dobble hull. That the with on the outside is almost the same inside.....And if you see the boat from strait in the front, is it circular or oval?:)

look in the link above on the s-class boats
there are a few inside photos of the s-boats.
they look quite spacious.

Oh, it's pics of s-boats...I thought that were pics of Doctor Who and the TARDIS. No need to see...ehehheh Kidding....:p

I think the point about the empty S boat interior is that there was nothing it, ie no equipment to speak of they were as basic as you can get.

Looks to me the S-boat was actually quite wide. Since it is not a double hull boat, what you see outside, is what you get inside.

It seems these boats were quite prone to getting sunk by friendly boats.

I love the S-boats Im glad the devs included them in the end.
My first SH4 Kill was in an S-boat, I took out an aircraft) with the deckgun - I went to man the AA gun but quickly realised i didnt have one, but i still go the sucker - quite jammy i thought :D
