A submarine will sometimes go to sea for short periods with fewer crewmen than this because there are crew members on scheduled leave or at shore training facilities.
Most submarines divide their crews into three watch sections.
When on watch, the crewmen are actively operating their assigned equipment. Under special conditions, such as during battle stations and when entering or leaving port, there are many more. The ships carry about 400 movies that are exchanged for different ones at each port. Card games and various board games, such as a Backgammon or Cribbage, are popular. There are also some athletic facilities on board, such as an exercise bike, versa climber, rowing machines, and free weights.
