Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: submarine

I was surprised to see cigarettes and matches in the messes, but naval personnel have had tobacco and cigarettes as a ration until fairly recently. There is a request in Hansard, Parliament's record of proceedings, from Naval Officers to the Government for less tight restrictions and the need to deal with various anomalies in 1951, which includes a Surgeon Lieutenant Commander recommending smoking as a benefit to health!

Not a very clear photo, but a crucial part of the ship.

If the accommodation in HMS Alliance looks cramped and claustrophobic, you should visit HMS Ocelot! Even so, I imagine that the spaces in earlier subs was even tighter.
