Interesting.  I visited the Ocelot a couple of years back.  I was amazed at how compact the quarters are.  Image being cooped up in there for weeks on end!  It must take a special breed of men to crew a submarine.  Equally amazing is the massive amount of metal in the build, which becomes more obvious when you get very close.
