Don't you have to be under 5'7" tall to be on a submarine?
No- my nephew served on the Nuke Puffer (I think). He is 6'3" or more and slept curled up in the bunk.... It only accomidated to 6' I believe. He told me at one time that the maximum height for Nukes was 6'. He qualified at 18 by a fraction of an inch, under.
After he was in Nuke school he had a growth spurt, but it was too late. They kept him, much to his dismay.
