I’ve toured a few WWII submarines - holy hell the 19th century maniac-pulling-levers, dials and switches everywhere… It’s crazy.

It must have been a terrible experience serving on one of these. The death rates were also very high.

Maybe I’m promoting something well-known here, but Das Boot (the full-length movie, not the newer TV series, I watched a couple of episodes of that and it was pretty terrible) does an amazing job of presenting what it was like in these things.

I see that one is still haunted.
