#9>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.

obviously they have an interest in only filming the non-sensitive areas for public relations purposes...
