LOL I have the same avatar!

BTW, I was reading something very interesting.. It seems the reason the US subs had A/C was because the electronics kept shorting out.. It was just a bonus that the crew was cool inside..

But the only reason was the for electronics.. Which had me thinking.. The Germans and I think all the other nations, submarines had NO A/C, I wonder how they fixed the shorts ( I guess condensation would form all over the electrics due to the humidity )

Plus, the Americans got to take a shower every 8 or so days ( Unless you were a Mechanic or Cook, then you got to shower every other day )
