RL Submariners

More questions for the RL submariners!

Question #1: On each of the various classes (SW, Los Angeles, etc), how many of the crew had to hot-bunk? And how was it decided who had to hot bunk and who got their own bunk?

Question #2: Was hot-bunking all that bad? Did people mind?

Qeustion #3: What about when special forces were aboard? On a long transit (1 + week), were those guys just sitting in their racks all day? Did they get duties (cleaning, cooking, etc)? Did they have to hotbunk too or did they get special treatment?

by the way, sorry to resurect this thread, but I always thought this thread was fasinating. I love hearing the RL skinny from those folks that have "been there and done that". Other than the fine folks on this forum, I've only met 1 other person that had been on a submarine during deployment. Hope no one minds.
