About SSN's for those who know

There's the OOD, Dive, COW, Helmsman, Planesman, FTOW, QMOW, and the Messenger at minimum.

There is a start. Thank you.

Per my diagram you have at least three penetrations into the RC: Steam going out, condensate coming back in, and electrical. AT some point you may want to change the air in there for what ever reason so there's four penetrations.

edit: Your pictures of the "USS Devilfish" there, there is no USS Devilfish SSN 666. SSN 666 was the Hawkbill, a Sturgeon still but curious that it's renamed in the picture.

Look at figure 7.

I appreciate the answers but none answeer the questions.

Is it true that the hull penetrations are no larger than 26” (Ohio Class excluded for obvious reason) including the weapons shipping hatch?

Are the passageways only 30”?

Why the wood venier? Because it weighs less than paint?

Does Rickover’s rule concerning penetration of the reactor compartment hold in the Virginia class boats? Electric only.

How many folks occupy the ‘attack center’ during a normal evolution?

Call me paranoid, but the word "OpSec" is screaming at me.

Thanks for the thoughtful answers TLAM Strike.

These are not normal questions third man ...

If you would be so kind to reply ... Why do you inquire of these items of interest?

Hull penetrations?

Passageway clearence?

Imitation wood decor that covers the ugly truth of yellow tobaco stains?

Rickover rules?

Questions limited to SSN's?

Well everything I posted can be found on the Internet or in Books. ETR3(SS) posted a picture showing where he got his info.

According to a friend of mine who did errr... "Stuff" with "Things" in "Places" while in the USN if you can find it on the Internet its not OpSec.

This is what I live by for the 688i mod.

Correct on all current classes of SSN. (Pressure hull only.)

Are the passageways only 30”?

Correct.

Why the wood venier? Because it weighs less than paint?

No, because in the US wood paneling is considered nice and relaxing thus is found in many homes. The reason its on subs is to make the crew feel at home.

Does

Rickover’s rule concerning penetration of the reactor compartment hold in the Virginia class boats? Electric only.

According to ETR3(SS) there are four.

How many folks occupy the ‘attack center’ during a normal evolution?

About 13.
