"Yea you kinda have too feel sorry for the KGB guard who had to sleep on top of the 'Special Torpedo'."
On the "Scorpion" sub, the KGB officer (known as the "Political Officer") had his very own quarters, with a locking door. However, even he had no more room than the captain and the total space was little more than that found in an airlplane restroom. ETR3(SS) raises the question of where else on the boat the crew might have bunked; the areas below the main deck are off-limits to tourists (insurance concerns given as the reason); perhaps they found other places to bunk as on the American boats. Still, all in all, not very comfortable.
