yeah, it was the same back when i was on a fast attack sub in the 1970s...and here's the fun part--2 other dudes shared my bed/cot...it's called hot racking...I sleep for 6 hours, then get up and go aft to stand watch or do maintenance, and dude #2 gets in the same cot and sleeps for 6 hrs...he then gets up and dude #3 gets in for 6 hrs...you get 6 hrs in bed per day...FTN...



It was like that in the 80's and 90's too. When we went on a special run, nearly the entire crew would hot rack.


I knew about hot-racking. That actually makes sense. But why not 8-hour shifts instead of 6?
