I am certainly no authority on subs, just have a long interest in them. So on a highly subjective note I have been through the USS Drum, a Gato class boat on display in Mobile Alabama and could not imagine living aboard it. Then I went through U 505 in Chicago and felt like the Drum was a Carnival cruise ship by comparision...Well I certainly exaggerare but the difference was very noticable. I do appreciate the different circumstances for the fleet and North Atlantic boats but the thought of being in a VII or IX is beyond my imagination. Those were courageous men in all cases..
