20 guys? Try 83 during WWII! We were down to about 60 personnel when I was on the USS Torsk in the late 60s. It's now the museum boat in Baltimore.

The links are very interesting. Lots of detail in the close ups.
Thanks. It would be nice to see that one Dan mentioned in NJ. We
have an American world war II sub here in San Francisco. Not much room
in that thing when you consider there was 20 guys in it. I can imagine how
cramped the Seehunds were. Even the Marlin S101 was limited in space because of
the huge battery bank it had. I wonder how long the average psub dive is? I
guess that would probably depend on how much air they have and what the battery
duration is, but I doubt most dives by psubbers push the limits of their
reserves.
