Im ready running silent atm and was astonished by the fact the crew had access to fresh bread from the galleys!

Having read other accounts of Submarine warfare from the german perspective it seems the USA's boats were much more comfortable.

In Iron Coffins, it mentions the constant damp and mould on everything. Yet Calvert dosent mention this at all on the USA boats.

I know the Fleet boats were much bigger than the U-boats, but how did the living conditions differ?

:hmm:
