1. How much gay sex actually goes on down there? 2. Is there incentive pay for submarines? If manning is a problem then isn't a simple solution just to jack up the pay some more? If folks got paid another, like, $800 a month to be on subs then I bet people would be lining up.

Cerekk posted:2. Yes, but it's still not enough because the job is that bad. The long and short of it is that nuclear officers who commit for a second tour get a $30,000/yr bonus on top of base pay, sub pay, and sea pay, and attrition is still around 80% after initial obligated service. Myself personally, that bonus would have to be in the mid six-figures for me to even start considering staying in for a second sea tour. (obviously that will not be happening) Huh. Now I'm wondering if Tom Clancy would be all into that hot sub on sub action if he'd actually served on one. Does the CO get any privacy? Like his own stateroom or something? Do junior enlisted hot-rack most of the time? e: oh and a couple more questions! How much fresh water do you get each day, is it rationed? Are there limits on like, how you can shower or something? In a tiny-rear end steel tube with like 100 people not showering properly it would get pretty foul pretty quick, I should think. How do you dispose of trash? Is there like an airlock or something, like the torpedo tubes? Does it make enough noise to possibly risk detection?

Why is it that boomers have so much more space? Wouldn't all that space be taken up by the missiles? Is it because the diameter of the boat has to be bigger to hold the missiles, and so there's just more space everywhere? Do SSGNs have even more space than boomers? If so is that just because Tomahawks take up less space than Tridents?

Does the crew know the mission of the sub? Like, are the orders posted or something, so that if the mission is something like "wait for this other country's sub to leave port and track it" or something else would the crew know about it, or just the people who need to know? How often do boats surface? Do people bring things like laptop computers on board? Mortabis fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Mar 11, 2013 |

Jesus no electronic devices sounds ridiculously lovely. Thanks for convincing me to never, ever, ever to become a submariner. Is there a brig or something on submarines for people who commit crimes of some kind, or are insubordinate or whatever? How is that handled?

Baloogan posted:Thanks so much for satisfying my curiosity. So the sonar division's leader is more of a admin type guy rather than an old sonar officer who was listening to whale porno back in the 1970s. Tom clancy lied to me No he didn't. The sonar dude in The Hunt for Red October is a petty officer. IIRC there is no mention of a sonar officer except on the Soviet sub. e: also, it was extra-accurate because the sonar dude says he wants to get out of the navy and make megabux as a contractor.

What division handles the radar? I'm guessing radar isn't used much at all but subs do have one, right?

How did you offload the meat? Through an airlock, or just by surfacing and throwing it overboard?

But AIP subs do eventually have to snorkel, right? Don't they have to run ordinary diesels after a while?

My first roommate in college had a CPAP machine, but his sleep apnea was due to morbid obesity.
