On the 637 class we used to do push ups using the port and starboard torpedo racks. the center isle was spaced between those by about 3.5 feet. Depending on our weapons loadout we would strap extra aluminum racks here also, usually when we had "spooks" on board (yes, I said spooks...) Junior NFG's usually got these racks.
