Maybe that wouldn't be so bad. I mean, every photo I have ever seen of a fleet boat crew working while submerged had at least one guy mulling about shirtless. How about making one or two sailors in the damage control party shirtless? They would be the ones who were really working up a sweat doing their duties. Or furthermore...
I read in Dick O'Kane's book "
Wahoo: The Patrols of America's Most Famous World War II Submarine" that the captain was in the shower when a juicy target was spotted. He jumped out of the shower immediately and rushed to the conning tower with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He began plotting observations through the scope and as he whipped the scope around his towel dropped to his feet! Undaunted he continued calling out range and bearing data for a few minutes stark naked until a crewman brought him his uniform!
Now go ahead and add that bit of realism! :rotfl:
