submarine is always referred to a ‘boat’ by the submariners. The crew of the submarine have to live in under cramped conditions much like rabbits in a warren. They have to spend weeks on end in this space, often under very structured conditions. Danger is a constant companion and life beneath the surface is definitely not for the faint-hearted. An average nuclear submarine is about 80 metres long and 9.9 metres wide and about the same in height. Thus, it is not enough for a sailor to stand upright inside. Once inside the submarine, baths are forbidden for the crew and patrol can stretch from 40 to 45 days at a stretch. A dozen officers use a single bathroom. Fresh water is rationed and one occupant is allowed a ration of one mug per day for quenching his thirst. Fresh water is also used for cooking and hence controlled. Once a sailor enters the submarine, he is handed disposable clothes that are chemically treated and replaced every two or three days. Meals served to them is very basic. Usually it is dal, rice or roti and one vegetable. Puris and parathas are unheard-of and never has a fancy dish crossed its threshold. It is common for sailors to lose their appetite after a few days in a cramped submarine. That is why a doctor on board is a compulsory requirement.
