Without sounding gay ... I think it's the men that volunteered for submarine service knowing full well
that a chance does excist for a one way trip straight down due to accidents or naval combat.

They have to be more intelligent than the normal sailor (officers or enlisted men) and they have to be loose and not uptight.

of course I'm a little prejudice with my grandfather having
served diesel and nuc's back in the 60's and early 70's.

Plus all of the submarine movies have a bit of romance about them.

The submarine itself is just a huck of steel with wires and stuff inside. The men add the element of surprise.

The body is dead without the spirit and so is a submarine with good men.
