I'm thinking the Co2 scrubber units would be able to keep up but not sure the units can keep up with 5 people in the submersible. I haven't seen any information on the scrubber units employed on this submersible. Aktung had mentioned the psychological effects and impact of being under water like they have been. I agree with his assessment. Nuclear Submariners do that all the time for longer periods without any Ill effects. However, the circumstances in this instance are different.

Still, many Navy people wouldn't have any part of being a Submariner.

That's why we get paid a lot more.



I haven't read or heard anyone talking about Lithium Hydroxide.

Its cheap and also really passive. Just pour some on a tray and let it do its thing. That takes care of most of your CO problems.

I failed to mention that Service people in my humble opinion are a special breed. That also includes our cousins across the pond like Germany and the U.K and their military forces, just to name a few countries and forces. Submariners are themselves a special breed among the military forces, especially in the U.S, having essentially been on a war footing during the Cold War and well after as too. This includes, perhaps especially, the " Hide with pride " gang as well.


I'm pretty sure you will agree.

That you're trying to suck up? Well, yeah..

Submarine duty is 95% about the Benjamin's.
For the rest, -

-NO ONE gets sea sick at 200 feet.

-Some one has to keep foreign bars and red light districts in business.

- Navies will always need a place for crazy people.

^ Not at all, just a healthy respect for anyone who has served in uniform. That goes double for those who have sailed and served in an underwater tube for 4-6 months at a time and rightfully earned Presidential unit Citations as USS Parche (SSN-683) and others have for meritorious service.

Denmark have dismantled its Submarines and does not have any today. In the latest agreement they have decided to once again having a submarine fleet.

In Sweden there's no sailor on a sub only officers
