>NR-1's size limited its crew comforts. The crew of about 10 men could stay at sea for as long as a month, but had no kitchen, bathroom, or bathing facilities.
>They ate frozen TV dinners, bathed once a week with a sponge of water, and burned chlorate candles to produce oxygen. The sub was so slow that it was towed to sea by a surface vessel, and so tiny that the crew felt the push and pull of the ocean's currents. >"Everybody on NR-1 got sick," said Allison J. Holifield, who commanded the sub in the mid-1970s. "It was only a matter of whether you were throwing up or not throwing up."
why would anyone voluntarily go into submarines

NR-1 is research submarine. An Ohio-class or any other modern sub is going to have actual facilities. Still shitty compared to a surface ship though
>>
The NR-1 is literally the only submarine like that

The NR-1 was towed around by a ship. They lived on this ship,ate on the ship and fuck'd off on the ship then went under water for bit to do missions.
The company I work for had the contract for the NR1 the boat still works with submarines but the oil field kind. I used to work on its sister ship,which also worked with submarines..the rescue kind

Typhoon class did.
Every time I've seen the pool though the water looks grotty green/brown colour though

How anyone can take Russia seriously for anything other than sheer manpower is beyond me
>>
The NR-1 kept the Russians pretty busy

Because Typhoons had massive, massive nuclear missiles, that's why.
