90 crew members lived on this sub. The hallways were about 24 inches wide.
No room for fat guys here |

| Sleeping quarters, 3 bunks high, 9 people slept in this tiny area. Orange suit was a safety escape suit. Once you put it on you had to be hooked up to oxygen. |

| The sub was divided into 7 compartments. Each compartment completely sealed from the others. You had to request to move from one to the other, when a person moved the ballasts had to be rebalanced with water to keep the weight distribution perfect. |
