Seawolf is not only agile but larger than her dimensions suggest. Living and work space is located toward the bow. As on all submarines, living quarters are tighter than on surface vessels. But on Seawolf they are hardly claustrophobic. Enlisted men's berthing areas sleep 40 in four-high racks separated by an aisle as wide as you'll find on a train.
Officers bunk three to a stateroom, a little larger than a walk-in closet.
The captain has a similar room, but he doesn't have to share. When off duty, officers spend much of their time in the wardroom, where they also take their meals. It is dominated by a large table that gives everyone about as much leg- and elbowroom as members of large families get when they dig into the Thanksgiving turkey. The Wolf's Den, the enlisted crew's mess, is slightly larger than the wardroom and filled with smaller tables, arranged like a railroad dining car. What the Navy takes away in space it returns at mealtime.
