Yeah, that too. I remember reading about some older boats patrolling there, and they didn't have the air-conditioning/heating plants of the fleet boats. In the central Pacific the crew only wore skivvies (underwear, for anyone not in the know), and in the Aleutians they wore heavy coats all the time, because the inside was so cold that condensation froze on the bulkheads.
Fun duty.
