#26: Reflections on Serving Aboard a 90s Sturgeon Class Submarine
Serving aboard a 1990s Sturgeon-class submarine wasn’t as cramped as many expect. The boat felt calm and steady, often so still it barely seemed to move. Early meals were decent, with fresh food and variety at first. As time passed, options dropped to canned salads and shelf-stable staples.
Despite solemn duties, the crew kept a casual and friendly tone. Jokes and laughter helped ease the long days underwater. The vibe grew so relaxed that formalities sometimes slipped. Officers occasionally had to remind sailors to use proper titles.
