Very approximate, and the newest subs don't necessarily have the Control Room directly under the sail anymore. But it's not bad. |

Aren't all of the non-classified diagrams 'very approximate'?  |

Hey as a kid I had the Revell George Washington a ballistic missile sub that had the interior. link |

Aren't all of the non-classified diagrams 'very approximate'? Some bear a passing similarity to the ground truth. |

Torpedoes forrard, buckets of instant sunshine midships, and Nuclear kettle aft… What's not to like? |

Torpedoes forrard, buckets of instant sunshine midships, and Nuclear kettle aft…What's not to like? Well to start with, the torpedo room is pretty much amidships as the spherical sonar array occupies most of the bow. |

But it has a chevron bow so that makes it more akin to an S Boat or a T Boat than anything with a spherical array :) |

That *may* be a limitation of the graphics program they used. Hard to make good-looking parabolic curves in MSPaint! And you guys have some odd definitions of 'amidships', considering that the torpedo room is about as far forward as you can get in the boat. |

'Food/Beer' store? Not likely on a US boat (unless there was a radical rules change. USN has been officially 'dry' since the 1800s. Except for 'medicinal alcohol'….). |

Some of our guys were 'discussing' how much beer you could store in a missile tube, if you used the whole tube as a keg. I mean, we've got cooling water and even nitrogen (not CO2, beer goes stale) to pressurize the megakeg after all. 88" diameter, 44 feet tall. Call it 13,900 gallons. Crew of 180 (we were always overmanned, but never had enough qualified watchstanders), so that's 77.22 gallons per man. So, not quite a gallon per man per day of the patrol. Sounds like a plan to me! |

"USN has been officially 'dry' since the 1800s." June 1914. "Some of our guys were 'discussing' how much beer you could store in a missile tube, if you used the whole tube as a keg." M113 APC fits four cases of beer in the floor storage, two per side. |

M113 APC fits four cases of beer in the floor storage, two per side. That's it? Oh, yeah, gotta save room for the ammo, right? |
with some 'babes', and she did the rest...
