>TCPO ‘Tug’ Wilson in the weapons room (AKA ‘bomb shop’). Crew members often hug the cruise missiles to stay cool while they sleep. Is it that hot in the submarine that you have to sleep naked and hug torpedoes to stay cool while you sleep? Is there no form of climate control? On US submarines it must be much cooler as everyone is wearing thick overalls[1] and even winter clothing in the torpedo bay. [1] https://yout…

I think a nuclear deterrence against insane countries like e.g. Russia is of critical importance.

In the Smarter Every Day video, they're literally under a polar ice cap. I would think that location plays a big role.
This 2012 article mentions that the Royal Navy might have female submariners "next year". It happened in 2014: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/female-submariners-make-h...

There's some pretty good video on youtube showing what the galley looks like on a US submarine, and meal prep/cooking for one meal. They fit a lot of stuff in a very tight space. obviously they have an interest in only filming the non-sensitive areas for public relations purposes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWk7oFF1Ku0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-jyzwdmEIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al7DqK0f8lI

I wondered why those Navy videos spend an inordinate amount of time showing how food is made and interviewing the chefs, it makes sense that is the least classified area and they aren't scared of bothering important stuff (not to downplay food).
