Hi All,

Forgive me if this is already has been asked & answered. I would like to know if there was a height & weight limitation on US Submarines during WWII. I visited the USS Becuna as well as the Cruiser Olympia at the Independence Seaport Museum in Philidelphia. I was struck by how small everything on board was as far as Human amenities went. As I'm 6' 4" tall & 210 lbs I wanted to know would I been able to serve on board a Submarine During WWII.
