Reading your quote of my post I realized I had a typo in there. There were about 115 crew aboard the Tullibee when it pulled into Bermuda, not 155. I don't think you could get 155 on that boat. It is/was the smallest of the Nuclear subs I think.
I was quite claustrophobic for the first part of the trip. Kept in the mess area because there was at least room to stretch there. Banged my head going through the hatches quite a few times. Not made for people over 6 foot, lol.
